Culvert work road closure delayed one week
by Bridger-Teton National Forest
September 4, 2011
KEMMERER – The Kemmerer Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest previously announced a culvert replacement would occur and close the Labarge Creek road from September 6 through 11, 2011. Due to construction delays, the road closure has been pushed back one week to September 12 through 17, 2011.
The culvert replacement is approximately 28-miles northwest of LaBarge, Wyoming near Scalar Guard Station (T28N R116W Section 11). The new culvert will have a native rock bottom and a larger span in order to improve the fisheries habitat in the LaBarge drainage. Construction signs and barricades will be posted near the construction in locations convenient for turning vehicles around.
The Kemmerer Ranger District identified the existing culvert as a fish barrier and an opportunity to improve fisheries habitat and hydrologic function of Labarge Creek. For more information on the status of the culvert replacements, contact the Kemmerer Ranger District at 307-828-5100.
