The Bureau of Land Management Swiftwater Field Office, Roseburg District has announced that BLM road 25-7-29 is closed to through traffic.

A BLM release said the recent rain events have undercut the road, and the edge of the road has collapsed. This is a public access road accessible from both County Road #13, also known as Melqua Road, and #6, which is Hubbard Creek Road.

Swiftwater Field Manager Michael Korn said, “There is no detour required, access is still available from each end of the road”. Korn said, “This will be a long-term closure and repair plans will take time to develop.
