Tomorrow Bridger Canyon Road opens up for limited access, according to
the Sheriff on Facebook.

Several people have observed that construction crews are ignoring the
condition previously announced elsewhere, “This is not a time to visit
your neighbors or have friends, extended family, or construction crews
come to your residences.” We can do better.

———————————–

Effective tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 10 at 10 AM, the entirety Bridger
Canyon Road will be open FOR RESIDENTS ONLY. Bridger Canyon Road remains
closed to the public from Boylan Road to Brackett Creek. This includes
bikers and runners.

Residents should stay off the roads from 7 AM to 10 AM, and from 6 PM to
8 PM to allow for fire crews to travel the roads. When on Bridger Canyon
Road, DRIVE SLOWLY for everybody’s safety.

Residents will need to bring proof of residence to be allowed in. We ask
you to go directly to your homes. This is not a time to visit your
neighbors or have friends, extended family, or construction crews come
to your residences. It is still an active fire zone and fire teams are
still working. The objective is to keep the road clear for firefighting
efforts. Any extra traffic only hinders the progress. Residents need to
stay out of their way.

In the active fire zone, residents can expect to see smoke and flames.
DO NOT call 911. They can notify fire personnel in the area if they are
around, but they are aware of the situation.

In areas where homes have been destroyed and may have ignited propane
tanks venting, DO NOT APPROACH AND DO NOT PUT THEM OUT. Residents are
also advised not to stay in that area, and to collect what they need and
leave.

Avoid spending time in any area that has been burned, even on your own
property. Many hazards exist including burnt trees that are highly
unstable and dangerous.
