Courthouse Creek Road (Forest Service Road 140), located in the Pisgah Ranger District off Highway 215 just north of Balsam Grove in Transylvania County, NC will reopen Friday, June 10, 2016 at 10 am.
Other work in the area is ongoing so visitors should be aware of the potential for construction traffic.
The road had been closed while the U.S. Forest Service replaced a bridge. Severe storms this past winter damaged other sections of the road and delayed completion of the bridge.
The construction of the new bridge was designed to have minimal impacts on brown and brook trout living in the North Fork of the French Broad River. The new bridge allows for passage of fish and other aquatic species in the North Fork of the French Broad River, a class C trout stream. This classification is intended to protect fresh waters which have favorable conditions for the year-round survival and the propagation of stocked trout.
