🚧 Notice of Scheduled Road Closure: Morton Cutoff Road will be closed to all traffic starting Tuesday, May 26, 2026, for necessary repairs and maintenance, with an expected reopening date of approximately June 4, 2026.

🛻 Traffic will be permitted through Memorial Day weekend.

💥 Consequently, the club shooting range will also be closed during this period. We appreciate and support Seven Islands in their efforts to improve this heavily used access.

We understand this is not ideal, however, there is no perfect time to tackle such a big job.

Motorists are advised to utilize alternate routes available via Lincoln Pond Road and Tim Pond Road.
