Road Reopens at Belle Fourche Reservoir

Media Contact: Ryan Alcorn, (605) 394-9757

For Release: March 24, 2011

The Bureau of Reclamation announced today that repairs to Susie Peak Road at Belle Fourche Reservoir near Belle Fouche, S.D., have been completed and the road is once again open to traffic.

Warmer temperatures across the region last week created significant runoff and a severe washout of a section of Susie Peak Road. Reclamation quickly secured a contract for road repairs and the contractor completed the work Wednesday.
