Road over Sherman Dam to close temporarily

The road across Sherman Reservoir Dam will be closed temporarily starting Feb. 16 for repair work on the dam.

Recent favorable weather will allow contractors for Farwell Irrigation District to begin concrete repairs on the face of the dam ahead of the peak recreation season.

During the project, which is expected to last one to two weeks, Sherman Dam Road will be closed from 791st Road to 792nd Road. Those planning to access the Marina Bay boat ramp or Trade Winds Marina should take 790th Road east, then 480th Road north, then 792nd Road.

All park areas on the south side of Sherman Reservoir State Recreation Area will be accessible during this closure.

The District appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation during the project.
