Dutch Joe Road closed due to impassable conditions
by Bureau of Land Management
June 17, 2011
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rock Springs Field Office is closing the Dutch Joe Road, southeast of Pinedale, Wyo. in Sublette County, due to impassable conditions.
BLM Road 4113, commonly known as the Dutch Joe Road, which heads north off Sublette County Road 132, is the primary route to the popular Big Sandy Opening trailhead and Big Sandy Lodge. A local landowner reports a spring has emerged in the middle of the gravel road, creating a mud bog, and making travel hazardous.
BLM engineering and maintenance crews have assessed the road conditions, and will be making the necessary repairs. The road will be closed until further notice, and closure signs will be posted. There is no alternate route.
