We are proposing to build intervisible pullouts along the Hells Canyon Road by widening the road in select locations. This would allow vehicles to pull over and pass each other safely on this narrow road.
Location
We would build turnouts along a 4-mile segment of the Hells Canyon Road (Forest Service Road [FSR] #227)from the Hells Canyon Bridge to the junction of the Petty Creek - Hells Canyon Road (FSR #196).
