I was going to ride up east side of Bickle Hill today and there was signs that said closed for construction.
Local traffic only. We can only hope they are going to resurface it.
Checked out Bickle Hill this afternoon. Construction was to clean out ditches and replace some driveway culverts. All work was about 200 m east of the high point, so no issue re: cycling. Watch out for the usual significant gravel at the bottom (east) end of Bickle where it intersects with Willaimson. Unfortunately, no work has been done to improve on the patched potholes.
Thanks guys. We always appreciate reports on road conditions.
