For those residents that enjoy heading out to the country for a drive, especially along the Yellowstone Canyon Road (also called Forest Service Road 119), be sure to come up with alternative routes. Ashley National Forest will be replacing the bridge in Yellowstone Canyon due to its age and condition. Yellowstone Canyon Road will be closed at the Bridge Campground on the southwest side of the bridge and on the main road north. The reduced stream flow and the time needed for the footings to hardened make it the perfect conditions. The bridge will be closed from September 9th to the 23rd. Ashley National Forest offers the following alternate route to get to Swift Creek and the 77 Flats areas: take 16000 West to the Nud Springs Draw Road out of Altonah that connects to Forest Service Road 232, the Burnt Mill Spring Road.
