Portion of Dickinson County snowmobile trail closed

IRON MOUNTAIN, MI--   The Department of Natural Resources has closed a section of snowmobile trail in Dickinson County for safety reasons.  

DNR Western U.P. trails specialist Jeff Kakuk says a segment of Trail No. 2 has been blocked off as officials continue to repair railings and decking on the Menominee River Bridge west of Iron Mountain.  He says recent analysis of the bridge indicates it’s unsafe for snowmobile travel. 

The trail is closed between Pine Mountain Road in Michigan and Romitti Drive in Wisconsin until the bridge railings can be repaired. 

The closure is expected to remain in effect into January.
