The Selway River Road which has been closed due to a slide for several weeks, is open today (Tue) only so recreationists can retrieve campers.
The slide has not be stabilized, but crews have opened one lane of the road until 6 p.m. this (Tue) evening. It will close again as crews believe it will be several more weeks until the slide area is secure and safe.
The popular recreation route was blocked July 15th by several large boulders and other debris about 4 miles east of Three Rivers Resort, trapping residents who live behind the slide and those who were camping.
People were redirected onto the Swiftwater Road, which comes out at Kooskia about 20 miles away. But the road is navigable only by high-clearance vehicles, forcing several people to leave their campers behind. (Lewiston Tribune)
