The following press releases was published by the Bureau of Land Management on June 27. It is reproduced in full below.

WORLAND, Wyo. - Recent storms have created hazardous conditions for vehicular travel and public land users on Smilo/Sand Draw Road east of Ten Sleep. Recreationists should not attempt to access Smilo Road (Bureau of Land Management Road 1416) at this time.

For your safety and to prevent further resource damage, the BLM Worland Field Office has limited access to administrative use only while the damage is assessed and until repairs can be completed.

"We appreciate your patience while the needed repairs are completed," said BLM Worland Field Manager Mike Phillips.

This year's heavy precipitation has resulted in damage to many backcountry roads across the Bighorn Basin. Please travel safely and turn around if in doubt about a road’s stability.

Follow BLM Wyoming on Facebook and Twitter for updates on road repairs. For more information, please contact the BLM Worland Field Office at (307) 347-5100.
