Hi All

Clean up is taking a little longer than expected, self picking logging truck is on site loading up scattered

logs. Detour is still in place and traffic is moving well with no backups on the highway.

Northbound traffic is detoured through Westbench area, large vehicles are getting by

on shoulder.

Southbound traffic was clear, currently stopped while logs are being pushed off of the

road.

Expected to be open within the hour.

Roads were bare and dry

Ill let you know when its clear.
