Emergency Road Closure at Belle Fourche Reservoir

Media Contact: Ryan Alcorn, (605) 394-9757, 03/18/2011 00:00

For Release: March 18, 2011

The Bureau of Reclamation announced today the closing of Susie Peak Road at Belle Fourche Reservoir near Belle Fouche, S.D., until further notice. Warmer temperatures across the region have created significant runoff and a severe washout of a section of Susie Peak Road.

Do not attempt to cross barricaded or flooded roads. Continuing rain will likely increase poor road conditions.
