The U.S. Forest Service will temporarily close Neck Lake Road, also called Forest Service Road 25, on Prince of Wales Island, for subsurface surveying work Sept. 19 through Sept. 23.
During that time frame, the road will be closed for up to three hours at a time between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., according to a Forest Service announcement, although it will open between noon and 1 p.m. for lunchtime traffic.
The section affected starts at the road’s intersection with North Prince of Wales Road, and extends to the log transfer facility junction, at Forest Service Road 30.
An alternate route to and from Whale Pass will be available via Forest Service Roads 20 and 27.
