Title: PSA ** Beckler River Road washout - allegedly fixed usfs skykomish district
Post by: sawyer on April 01, 2022, 10:32:29 AM: I'm talking about the Beckler River road proper, NOT INDEX GALENA ROAD.

about .3 miles down there is a major road washout that is impassible to all vehicles. Dont know how long its been there, probably happened during one of the flood events this winter. ONX indicates that the segment of road that is washed out belongs to a private individual, but I'm sure there are easment laws involved with some public agencies... Hoping it gets fixed before summer kicks off.

Cant find any information online about the washout yet.

My guess is...it will never get fixed. The Index Galena Road washed out 10-15 years ago with not plan to ever fix it. Dang crying shame.....now where are all the meth heads going to dump their garbage and have hidden meth labs. :bash: :bash: :bash:

Yeah Index Galena Rd has taken a ridiculously long time. It's scheduled to reopen next year though. :IBCOOL:
