Road Closure: Huffaker Bridge Repair on Forest Road 25

Beginning May 5th, 2025, the Huffaker Bridge located on Forest Road 25 at mile 7.66 within the Cowlitz Valley Ranger District, will be closed to all traffic to facilitate a full bridge replacement. The road will be closed until November 24th, 2025, however if any changes to the schedule occur the Forest Service will communicate those changes. 

The closure begins at the junction of FSR 2508 and ends at junction of FSR 26 (approximately ¼ mile stretch). 

With the Huffaker Bridge closure, the only way to get to Iron Creek CG and Forest Road 99 (Windy Ridge) is to travel south on FR 23, then take FR 28 to FR 76. Travel west on FR 76. 

Be advised that FR 76 is of a different maintenance level than FR 25. This means that for FR 76, user comfort and convenience are not considered priorities. It is a single lane with turnouts, typically has potholes and must be driven at low speeds.  Also be aware that there will be logging traffic on FR 76.
