A segment of the M21 Road is closed for emergency repairs. The temporary closure begins between the Hammerhorn Campground and the Smokehouse Creek/M21 crossing on the Covelo Ranger District. The closure is due to washout that has caused a total failure of a 100-ft. section of the road. The road will be closed until emergency repairs can be completed.

Road conditions on the forest are dynamic, especially given the post-fire hazards and storm damage. Forest officials ask motorists to drive with caution, as unseen hazards or other vehicles may be around the corner.
