NEW  UPDATE:

The ice heaved again this afternoon and we closed both accesses for a while. We brought in an excavater and he knocked down everything in the south access and packed it down. Hopefully it will freeze overnight and allow us to pull houses on Friday. Maybe even wheelhouses????? We will look at it Friday when it gets light and see.

The main access also heaved and we were able to bridge it for vehicle traffic,but no trailers, wheelhouses, or small low vehicles ( they scrape on the hinged bridge). We will see what Friday brings.

Please do not call or email and expect us to know what the ice is going to do later that day or the next day. We can tell you what is happening NOW and that is all. By the time  we hang up,ice could be cracking or heaving. There is no way to predict that. I expect it will move again on Friday if it is warm. It has moved from 1-5 times everyday this week. We will continue to do our best to keep the roads open.

If you are on our email list, you are getting the most current updates. We have people call right after we send the email and ask if what they read is correct or if it applies to them. They also ask when it will change. We do not know and yes it applies to you.
