In the interest of public safety, Bouquet Canyon Road in the Angeles National Forest will close between road gates at 8 PM on Thursday, Dec. 29—prior to the upcoming storm.

The current forecast is for moderate to heavy rain, at times, from Thursday evening through the following morning and Saturday afternoon showers continuing until late Saturday.

The closure will span between the gates approximately six miles south of Spunky Canyon Road, (near Mile Marker 12.55, just south of Big Oaks Lodge), to the southern boundary of Angeles National Forest (near Mile Marker 15.97, two miles north of Vasquez Canyon Road).

Once the storm passes, Public Works will inspect the roadway and open the road to through traffic when appropriate to do so.

Officials ask commuters to drive safely and plan their travels accordingly.
