road closed

hey anybody i was wondering if rte 5 by walnut is still closed, we are headin mup on the tenth and our hotel is down that way. hope to meet some of you guys fishing. thanks for the info and god bless tight lines

It's open, but they have been closing it periodically, to do finishing touches, if it's closed, go down around Walnut access and go back up the road (Dutch) and it will take you back to Rt 5. 

thanks rookie last time we followed the detour and it seemed a real round about way.
 

When I was there a few weeks ago, the detour was away from the lake, and had signs "no through traffic" down to Wal-o-nuts.  I wanted to go see the circus, so I wasn't through traffic...  I'm sure you'll be fine if you stop and buy some peanuts or cotton candy, it's worth the detour regardless.

i agree completely as if the five mile detour wasn't bad we got stuck waiting 45 min while a train passed
 

My last trip up with the boat I got behind a couple of shall we say over weight older folks on their bicycles riding up the hill going west. I had to come to a complete stop, with a line of cars behind me, as they barely crawled up the hill. Couldn't pass as it is a blind hill. When we finally got up to where you could see to pass, I opened up the cummins and swerved WAY over and went around. As I looked in my rearview a car had pulled out to pass and the woman swerved her bike right in front of the car and narrowly missed getting run over. I'm sure that the folks that live in that area don't like all the thru traffic and are probably glad that the boating season is over. Still has to be a ton of traffic chasing steel tho... Hard to believe how long some of these bridge projects are taking...

pretty sure if your coming from the West down rt5, you can take a left on Dutch rd, and follow the whole thing around to where it comes back onto 5, dont follow the actual detour signs.

 
 
That is correct. Just please watch your speed. My wife and I might be walking.

Must have been a really long train, considering the speed they run through there!

 
lol...I live right beside the tracks in Lake City and yeah most of'em are just haulin butt, but occasionally we get the slow poke. Heck, Just last week one was actually stopped for like 45 minutes.

I thought it was a law that they had to slow down passing through towns.

No such law.
That's why they don't look kindly on tresspassing!
