Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Northern Tier, Section 2, maps 20/21, road construction summer 2024/25
« on: July 29, 2024, 04:36:06 pm »
SR 37 along Lake Koocanusa will be undergoing construction between Sutton Creek Rd. (map 20) to Rexford (map 21). Rehabilitation work includes milling the existing road surface and placing a new plant mix overlay surface. Additional work includes new signage, pavement markings, guardrail and rumble strips. The project is intended to preserve and extend the life of the roadway while
reducing maintenance costs. Traffic control will be in place and includes reduced speeds and single-lane traffic. Travelers should expect 10- to 15-minute delays and cycling on a gravel surface through the project area. Work will continue until November 2024, and then will resume June 2025. Consider riding the West Side Alternate to avoid some of the construction.

US 95 will be under construction for 13 miles south of Whitebird for resurfacing. The road will remain open but cyclists should expect increased traffic, lane closures, wait times, and poor surfaces. See https://itd.idaho.gov/news/us-95-pavement-resurfacing-begins-near-whitebird/ for more information. This is expected to last through mid-October.

CR 139 is closed at Exit #102 under I-94 due to major construction of the interchange. Eastbound riders, use CR 90 south of Hebron to I-94 as a detour, then continue on CR 139 to Glen Ullin as the map shows. This closure is expected to last until mid-August 2024.

Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Re: TransAm Section 5, Teton Pass is closed, 2024 (Teton Valley Alternate)

https://www.jhnewsandguide.com/the_hole_scroll/teton-pass-closes-to-cyclists/article_365d4636-2f57-11ef-a708-f32ae67aed15.html

Starting 6/21/24, bikes will no longer be able to travel up the closed Teton Pass highway.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation and contractors will be hauling crushed base and asphalt to the detour site at milepost 12.8 where a portion of the highway collapsed on June 8.

Bikes must use the pathway or the Old Pass Road on the east side to access the area for recreation, a WYDOT press release said. The road will be closed to bikes through the weekend.

"Officials hope to have the detour paved and the detour opened to traffic by the end of next week," the press release stated.

More updates, like what day the detour will open and its speed restrictions, should be available next week.

No, that's okay! There's some good information already here. But if you could edit the forum post title to say "TransAm Section 5, Teton Pass is closed, 2024" that would be helpful.

Thanks!

The official ACA name of the alternate is the "Teton Valley Alternate", which is a digital-only alternate. We do not have any detours around this landslide, nor do we plan on creating one. The Main Route through Yellowstone is still open. It is recommended to ride very early in the morning to avoid the peak traffic.

As of spring 2024, this construction is still ongoing (way past its initial estimated completion date), but hopefully will be completed later this year. Continue to check https://www.us50info.com/ for information. Also, an unofficial Facebook page is posting updates as well: https://www.facebook.com/p/US-50-Middle-Bridge-Closure-and-Little-Blue-Creek-Canyon-Road-Construction-100079238634231/.

In addition, the bridge over the Blue Mesa Reservoir (about 12 miles east of the construction in Little Blue Creek Canyon) is closed due to a failed inspection.

On Pacific Coast Section 1, Map 13, the Cathlamet-Westport ferry is out of service until further notice due to mechanical issues. https://www.co.wahkiakum.wa.us/252/Ferry

The following detour begins in Longview, WA (map 12) and connects back to the Pacific Coast Route in Westport, OR (map 13). The detour uses the Lewis & Clark Bridge over the Columbia River. The bridge has shoulders, but they may contain debris and traffic may be heavy depending on the time of day. Ride with caution and try to ride over the bridge during non-peak hours if possible. Beware of logging trucks using the bridge. Once across the bridge, the remainder of the detour borrows routing from the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Route (Section 7) to Westport.
