Nestucca Road Closed at Mile Post 17
Salem, Ore—The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Nestucca Access Road is closed 1/4 mile east of
Alder Glen Campground in Tillamook County, (23 road miles west of Carlton and 15 road miles east of
Beaver). Nestucca Access Road is known as Blaine Road coming from the west, and Meadow Lake Road
coming from the east, The closed area can be bi-passed via Bald Mountain and Bible Creek Roads.
A rock slide is blocking both lanes of traffic. BLM road engineers are assessing the area to determine if
the slide area is stable prior to moving in equipment to clean up the slide.
More information will be shared as additional information on clean-up activities and timeframes become
available.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land known as
the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 western states, including Alaska. The BLM also
administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM’s mission is to manage
and conserve the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations under our mandate of
multiple-use and sustained yield. In Fiscal Year 2013, the BLM generated $4.7 billion in receipts from public lands.
