LOVELL, Wyo. - The Bureau of Land Management Cody Field Office will repair a portion of the John Blue Canyon Road (BLM Road 1122) east of Lovell beginning June 11. The work is expected to continue for up to two weeks.

The stretch of road to be improved is Ball Bearing Hill. Repairs will include rock grinding and road grading.

Travelers will experience delays and are advised to avoid using that portion of the road, if possible, to allow heavy equipment to complete the scheduled work. As an alternate route, Little Mountain may be accessed via the CCC Road (BLM Road 1121).

If you plan to travel the Ball Bearing Hill portion of the John Blue Canyon Road while road work is occurring, you may contact Bryan Crawford at 307-431-7319 for more information.

The BLM appreciates your patience while the needed repairs are completed. Providing safe access to public land is a key component of the BLM’s priority to be a good neighbor in the communities we serve.
