The Colt Fire is burning about 15 miles northwest of Seeley Lake, MT, on the west side of SR 83. As of July 28, FR 4370, FR 4353, FR 667 and FR 720 are temporarily closed. These roads are located on the route south of Holland Lake Rd. and near Richmond Peak. The only way around these closures is to ride on SR 83. Fire behavior can be unpredictable, so SR 83 may be closed depending on when you're in the area. To continue your journey, it might be best to hitch hike a ride in a pickup truck to get through the area quickly.

The S.S. Badger ferry service across Lake Michigan is temporarily closed due to a mechanical issue. See https://www.ssbadger.com/ for current information. There is another ferry that crosses the lake called the Lake Express, https://www.lake-express.com/. It goes between Milwaukee, WI and Muskegon, MI. These cities are both south of Manitowoc, WI and Ludington, MI. We suggest taking the main route or using the Lake Express ferry to get around the S.S. Badger ferry closure.

The bridges of I-94 are being replaced where it goes over CR 139 about 6 mi. west of Glen Ullin. CR139 is closed at that point. Eastbound, from Hebron, turn right onto CR 90 towards I-94, ride onto on I-94 at exit 97 and then leave at exit 102. This put us on the other side of the closed CR139.  (Note: I-94 starts to become 1-lane per direction and both E and W split one side of the highway. Getting off at exit 102 got us off the road before the eastbound I-94 moved to the other side of the highway.)  Westbound, cyclists will have a harder time getting through the closure of CR 139. You certainly don’t want to be on I-94 east of exit 102 where there is one lane of each direction on one side of the interstate. And there is no option to get onto I-94 westbound at exit 102. We don't often recommend this, but it might be safest to hitch a ride in a pickup truck between Glen Ullin and Hebron. The bridge project is expected to run for 2 years.

Road and trail improvements will occur on a section of U.S. Highway 93 and an adjacent section of the Bitterroot Trail in Ravalli County. The project begins a half mile north of the intersection with Bear Creek Road and extends approximately two miles north, ending south of Victor. Construction is anticipated to start mid-July and last approximately one week with striping to follow.

The Bitterroot Trail will be closed during the improvements. Cyclists should detour onto the highway. On U.S. 93, traffic control will be in place with single lane closures. Brief traffic delays should be expected.

The St. Georges Bridge on US 13 across the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in Delaware will be closed from April 2023 until approximately October 2024. Bicycles are not allowed on the adjacent William Roth Bridge on SR 1, so the only alternative for south- or northbound bike travel is the Reedy Point Bridge on SR 9, south of Delaware City and approximately 5 miles east of St. Georges. Stay on SR 9 instead of diverting to US 13 both north and south of the canal, although the Chesapeake Option along the north side of the canal should still be accessible at St. Georges.
