Highway 75 Closure Update
Incident: Halstead Wildfire
Released: 8/31/2012
Highway 75 remains closed from Lower Stanley to Elk Creek between Stanley and Challis due to the Halstead Fire. This section begins approximately 1 1/2 miles east of Stanley and continues to approximately 1 mile east of Sunbeam. Travelers should check with Idaho DOT highway information for any changes. As fire conditions permit, traffic will be escorted through this section by pilot car. It is difficult to predict when conditions will be safe for motorists due to changing fire conditions and reduced visibility from smoke. Travelers are encouraged to find alternate routes between Stanley and Challis. The town of Stanley has not been impacted by the fire. Highway 21 from Boise and Highway 75 from Ketchum remain open into Stanley.
