Traffic Alert: Iron Mountain Blvd Closed Through Sunday 3/3

Traffic Alert:

To maintain public safety, Iron Mountain Boulevard, between Summit Drive and Fairway Road is closed to all traffic through this weekend. This closure includes all people driving, rolling, walking and riding. Key information:

  • A small landslide occurred earlier this morning. There is a threat of additional debris due to unstable grounds and falling trees as the rainfall continues through the weekend.
  • All trails in Iron Mountain Park are also closed until further notice – please obey signage.
  • We have been working with our geotechnical experts to assess and respond. The clean-up response is weather dependent.
  • Please use alternate routes and avoid the area.

Current projects

There is a major renovation project on Boones Ferry. It will constrict traffic movements, divert traffic, cause delays and back up traffic into neighborhoods like ours.  Work is expected to take about two and a half years to complete. Be careful in this area.

As a result of potential impacts to our neighborhood a permanent speed feedback sign will soon be installed on Quarry Road.

There is also a major construction in progress just off Mercantile Drive, Boones Ferry Road and Kruse Way at the former Providence Mercantile property.
