Revised from 2008 - Road Bridge Load Limits for bridges across the Boise National Forest. Based on specifications established by the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials.
There is a large log across the South Fork Payette River just above Blackadar Rapid. It is river wide and possess a threat to unsuspecting floaters on this section of the river. The log is in a precarious spot directly above a class IV rapid.
The log is above the water line on the north side of the river pointing upstream slightly and being submerged on the south side of the river.
Forest Officials are evaluating the best action to take to mitigate the log’s impact.
The Bridge that crosses the North Fork Boise River near Barber Flats is closed to vehicles greater than 50 inches due to public safety concerns caused by aging of the bridge. The bridge will have barricades installed to prevent larger vehicles from crossing. NFS road 376 (Barber Flats to Alexander Flats cutoff) will remain open to larger vehicles, but those vehicles will not be able to cross the bridge and must drive back the way they came in. For those not familiar with the 376 road, this road is not suitable for trailers/RVs, so avoid recommending this route as an alternative to access the dispersed campsites along the North Fork of the Boise River.
