Bandon Marina and the full moon Elk Creek Road closing for repairs The World

NORTH BEND — Elk Creek Road (28-11-29.0), east of Myrtle Point, is closed for up to three months beginning July 7 as the Bureau of Land Management completes road repairs. The BLM will replace four culverts between milepost 0.4 and 2.8. While through traffic is prohib- ited, users can access the area via a detour on Big Creek Road (29-11- 28.0) off Highway 42 near Bridge. Once on Big Creek Road, travel 1.64 miles and veer to left onto Elk Creek Extension (28-10-31.0). Af- ter 3.5 miles, Elk Creek Extension ends and turns into Elk Creek Road (28-11-29.0). A map of the detour is available at https://www.blm. gov/office/coos-bay-district-office. Active haul is occurring in the area and drivers should watch for log trucks on these roads. Once complete, the culvert replacements will improve public Amy Moss Strong, The World access and enhance fish habitat in The full moon shines over the Bandon Marina on the Fourth of July. the area, according to a BLM press release.
