Temporary Road Closure in Council Grounds Due To Bridge Construction
MERRILL – The road through Council Grounds beyond the Family Campground is closed to vehicle traffic through at least October 24.
Crews will be replacing the wooden bridge along the river with culverts, as decking on the bridge has become worn. Replacing just the wood decking unfortunately is not an option as the bridge supports are old and need replacing. The new bridge will also make winter plowing much easier.
Park officials are asking hikers to avoid the bridge work area and areas where tree cutting will be taking place by walking the trails through the woods until the project is finished.
