Deschutes National Forest road crew operations will be moving to Forest Service Road 16 on the Sisters Ranger District. This route provides access to the Three Creek Lake area. Work will be focused on repairing pavement edges and patching potholes.

The work is slated to begin next Monday, August 22, and tentatively scheduled to last through the week. The road repairs are scheduled for the paved stretch of road between the National Forest boundary and where Forest Service Road 16 transitions to gravel.

Motorists can expect delays of up to 30 minutes during the work. Flaggers will be onsite to provide for public and worker safety. Please use caution if traveling in the area.
