The Road Prison in Bodovlje

The road through Bodovlje will be completely closed from Monday, August 31, to Wednesday, September 2. The closure affects the section of the road between Bodovlje 24 and the Knauf Insulation junction. Motor vehicles will not be allowed to pass through this area during the specified time frame. Access to the upper part of Bodovlje beyond the Knauf Insulation junction will be available via St. Ožbolt or St. Peter Hriba. Emergency vehicles will be permitted to cross the construction site during their urgent travel. Residents have been advised that a smaller parking area will be set up on the left bank of the Sora River along the cycling path near the “dry bridge” (Šoštarjev travnik). Those wishing to park there are requested to approach the area from the direction of Zminca and exit towards Kajbit. Users of the cycling path are urged to exercise particular caution during the road closure. An alternative temporary parking area will be arranged on the right bank of the Sora River near the Bodovlje Bridge. Those parking there are asked to leave sufficient space for access to agricultural machinery to the fields. The closure is due to asphalt paving work. The local government, Občina Škofja Loka, has issued the notice regarding the complete road closure. It was announced that the road will remain closed until the end of the scheduled work period. During this time, traffic around the Knauf Insulation junction will be restricted. Drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes to avoid disruption. The affected road runs between Bodovlje, Frane, Hribovec, and Kopač. The specific segment under maintenance starts at the address Bodovlje 24 and ends at the Knauf Insulation junction. This section is critical for local movement, particularly for residents who rely on this route for daily commutes and access to essential services. Local authorities have taken steps to ensure that residents can still reach necessary areas. They have coordinated with nearby locations to provide alternative access points. The temporary parking solutions aim to accommodate both residents and visitors while maintaining safety and accessibility for agricultural operations. The closure is expected to last for three days, starting at 7:30 on Monday and ending at 6:00 on Wednesday. Emergency services have been informed of the restrictions and are prepared to navigate the area using designated routes. The local government has emphasized the importance of following these guidelines to minimize inconvenience and maintain public safety.
