The City of Bemidji announced, due to four wheel drive vehicles damaging Hillside Dr SW (located at the south end of Irvine Ave along Lake Irvine) and creating muddy conditions not to mention tearing up the road again, the City of Bemidji has closed Hillside Dr SW at each end (junctions of Park Ave SW and Woodland Ave SW) effective today, April 3, 2014. The road will be closed until further notice and any traffic needing to access their residences or for purposes of emergency services, access to the stretch of road where people live is from Park Ave SW to Woodland Ave SW from the east.
The city encourages people to disseminate this information and share with those who might have the urge to go mudding!!
