Forest Service closes Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road for road repairs and
bridge construction Beginning September 8, 2009 the Middle Fork Snoqualmie
Road will be closed at the forest boundary gate approximately mile post 8.0.
The road is closed to all motorized and non-motorized access to the Middle
Fork campground, Arch Bridge and all roads up the valley to the Dingford
Creek gate including road access to Goldmyer Hotsprings, Dutch Miller Gap,
and Taylor River Trail. The Middle Fork campground and trails will be open
for Labor Day weekend. The closure will go into effect on Tuesday, September
8. Projected completion of bridge and road repairs is early December.
Unfortunately, the upper road above Taylor River also received damage during
the previous winter storms. These sites are scheduled for repairs next year.
