CLARK FORK — Significant flooding has caused a portion of Lightning Creek Road to wash out, necessitating closure for an indefinite period, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
The portion of the road that washed out is not maintained by Bonner County’s Road and Bridge Department, said director Jason Topp. The washout is about 10 miles outside of the county’s maintenance area, on what is also called Forest Road 419.
The U.S. Forest Service — which cares for that part of the road — has placed blockers on the right-of-way to prevent injury to persons or vehicles who might attempt to drive through the water.
