Title: Highway One - blocked for travel to Ely, go around
Post by VoyageurNorth on May 19th, 2012 at 12:50am
Highway 1 is closed for travel into Ely. Partly because of construction south of the airport (about 14 miles south of Ely) and partly because of the fire just a half mile south of Ely that started yesterday. It is under control but they still have to do a lot of work with the burned trees and hot spots.

So, if you come into town from the south, get to Hwy 21 around Babbitt and take 21 into Ely to the main street of Sheridan (also it is called 169).

They probably have signs out already but they didn't when I came in to work today so I had to drive all the way back towards the airport, down 120/Blueberry, to 21 and then in to work.  :(
