Area roads remain closed to prevent damage

Posted
NCW - Seasonal road closures on Oklahoma Gulch Road (Entiat) and Mountain Home Road (Leavenworth) will remain in effect until further notice. Both roads have not been re-opened as scheduled because of snow on the roadways. Road crews will monitor the two roads, and we will update the public when they are re-opened.
 As a reminder, Horse Lake Road (Wenatchee) also remains closed until at least April 1. The seasonal closure will be re-evaluated at the end of the month to determine if it will be re-opened, as scheduled, on that date.
 Horse Lake Road is among four seasonal road closures that are put in place annually by Chelan County Public Works. The closure on Horse Lake Road, which is done in conjunction with the closure of the Sage Hills trail system by the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust, is due to migrating mule deer that feed off the spring greenery after enduring the lean winter months. The number of deer in that area typically peeks in March, according to the land trust.
 Temporary weight restrictions also remain on roads in the five county road districts. Visit our website for more details, including udpates, on weight restrictions: www.co.chelan.wa.us/public-works/pages/traffic-alerts-and-restrictions
