Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / TransAm, Section 8, Map 98 - 2013

« on: June 02, 2013, 08:20:19 am »

Hello again! It must seem like we're constantly running into road closures! We're headed westbound and when we crossed US 59 and the road became 160th road, we started noticing signs for a road closure 11 miles along. We thought we would reach our turning just beforehand so we continued. It didn't work. We had to take an earlier right onto Ford Road and it was not ideal. It was an unmade road with loose gravel. Not too bad on a touring bike (though I did take a tumble) but pretty impossible on a road bike. Might be worth seeking a detour earlier on! Good luck! Jana and Tom www.honkforfreedom.com

When we pulled into Hartville last night (headed westbound) there was a big sign just outside town that read: "38 closed, June 3rd". Not sure if it's the whole road or just a section but might be worth keeping an eye on for anyone passing through around that date.

Sorry Jennifer, we don't tweet! But I'll certainly continue to post any relevant info we stumble upon. In terms of food, we just ate at Brooks Cafe in Sonora and it was AWESOME. The owner was telling us that there have been fewer transam cyclists showing up these last few years. A pity. Definitely highly recommended. They're open Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm.

We just heard from a guy in Bardstown that Howardstown Road (through Howardstown) is closed due to flooding. We are going to hop on the 583 to New Haven and then the 31E to rejoin the route at the junction of the 84 and the 470. Hope this helps some other riders!
