A troublesome slump on the long and winding North Fork Road is getting some attention from a special committee established by Flathead County and the Flathead National Forest.
The Resource Advisory Committee is charged with identifying projects and funding them with a specific pool of money.
This year, the committee allocated $350,000 to 10 projects, most notably $140,000 steered toward work on the North Fork Road.
About $75,000 will be spent on realigning a section of road that has been slumping. The project will involve construction of about three quarters of a mile of new road to the west of the existing road.
The problem portion of road is north of Polebridge near the Sondreson Community Hall.
The project, which is being cooperatively administered by the forest and the county, is expected to reduce sediment into the adjacent North Fork Flathead River.
