A section of the Selway River Road that has been closed due to a rock slide since mid July, has partially re-opened on an intermittent bases.
The contractor working to clear the road says traffic will be allowed to pass under flagger guidance now through September 23rd.
The river road was blocked shut July 15 by several large boulders and other debris, trapping people who live behind the slide and several who were camping. People had been using the Swiftwater Road, a high clearance route that comes out at Kooskia about 20 miles away to get around the slide area.
The roadway is scheduled to be open daily through September 23rd from 5:30-6:30 a.m., 9-9:30 a.m., noon to 12:30 p.m., 3-3:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m.
