Nestucca Access Road Reopened at Mile Post 15
Salem, Ore—The Nestucca Access Road reopened yesterday, March 31. On March 24, an active
rock slide was reported to the Bureau of Land Management. Due to safety concerns caused by a
large undercut fir at the top of the slide and limited road available for vehicle traffic, BLM
closed the road at Mile Post 15, 1/2 mile east of the Elk Creek Bridge, and 0.2 miles east of Elk
Bend Campground. The road has been reopened to vehicle traffic.

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.
