<\/p>\nSonora, CA…Stanislaus National Forest will open seasonal roads beginning April 15, but forest crews need to inspect the roads to ensure there was no damage from this year\u2019s winter storms. Scott Tangenberg, deputy forest supervisor, said workers haven\u2019t been able to inspect many forest roads yet because some are still covered with snow. \u201cTraveling on wet or snowy roads can damage them, which is why we close them during the winter. Our employees follow the same direction that the public does: if the road is closed, only an emergency would allow access,\u201d he added. \u201cOur crews are just now beginning the inspections and we may find some damage that will require repairs before a road is passable.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Currently, the following high-use roads remain closed until storm damage repairs are completed:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Groveland Ranger District: Crocker Ridge Road (2S30)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Calaveras Ranger District: Sourgrass Road (5N14)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Mi-Wok Ranger District: Buchanan Road (1N01)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Summit Ranger District: Beardsley Road (4N29), known as Beardsley Day Use Area Road; Hell\u2019s Half Acre Road (5N29); Donnell\u2019s Dam Road (5N09X)<\/p>\n
A series of heavy storms during the 2016-2017 winter led to storm damage ranging from mud, rocks and debris slides to roadbed failure on some roads. The forest engineering staff is working with the Federal Highway Administration for funding and expertise to redesign and repair the extensive damage on these roads.<\/p>\n
Visitors are encouraged to contact local Ranger District offices for current information on roads and conditions before traveling on the forest.<\/p>\n
