BLM Closes Road Due to Rock Slide
Roseburg, OR. - The Roseburg District Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will close the
29-4-11 road leading through the Louis Creek drainage due to an active slide and road
instability. The closure will be effective immediately.
Due to the instability of the hillside above and below the roadway, the road will be closed
indefinitely. Alternate routes are available to access public lands beyond the slide area. The
attached map identifies the slide area and closure location.
For questions relating to this closure please contact Cheyne Rossbach at 541-579-0648
###
The BLM manages more land – more than 245 million acres - than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of
Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700
million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity
of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as
outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and
other resources on public lands.
