Nestucca Access Road Closed at Mile Post 15
Salem, Ore—An active rock slide has closed the Nestucca Access Road at Mile Post 15, 1/2 mile
east of the Elk Creek Bridge, and 0.2 miles east of Elk Bend Campground. Road closed signs
are posted at the intersection with the Bald Mountain Access Road on the east side of the slide,
and at the intersection with the Bible Creek Access Road on the west side of the slide. The BLM
is currently assessing the safety and logistics of the cleanup efforts. Please avoid the area as long
as road closed signs are posted.

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 2014, the
BLM generated $5.2 billion in receipts from public lands.
