Repairs underway, but may take a couple of weeks
— from San Juan County Public Works —
San Juan County Public Works closed Killebrew Lake Road (East of LaPorte Rd) this past Saturday (February 1) as a result of severe flooding damage.
The road is currently impassable to ALL traffic, including emergency vehicles and pedestrians.
On Monday February 3 the County Council declared an emergency expediting repair work. On Tuesday February 4 repair work commenced and is currently expected to take two (2) weeks and cost approximately $80,000. Construction crews will be working every day to expedite the re-opening of this County Road.
Please avoid the area and use alternate routes, including Dolphin Bay Rd.
Thank you for your patience. Please drive safely.
