HOT SPRINGS, AR—A portion of Long Creek Road (the third stream crossing) west of the junction of the Long Creek Road (Forest Road 512) and Forest Road 73, near Albert Pike Campground, will be closed from September 8 until around December 16, 2009, for repairs. A contract crew will be replacing the existing low water crossing with a box culvert to improve public safety, reduce streambank erosion, and to improve fish passage. Because of the construction, the campsite next to the crossing will also be closed.

The west end of the Long Creek road (Forest Road 512) and the north end of the Straight Creek road (Forest Road 912) are still open, but travelers will not be able to continue past the third crossing on the Long Creek Road to Forest Road 73. For further information, please call Elizabeth Gross, 870-867-2101.
