Reviewed 2026-10-22. DNR’s October 16, 2026 alert still closes 620th Avenue–160th Street east of Rose Creek for bridge washout. The earlier fence-repair notice no longer appears, but this review does not infer a repaired bridge. Selected LeRoy northern return stays far southeast of that damage. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
