![]() That has Cooke City and Silver Gate business owners overjoyed. But most of the way, the road is just the same as before. The Pebble Creek parking lot is filled with heavy equipment and a huge pile of soil removed from the big washout a little to the west. On the drive to Silver Gate and Cooke City, you will see the construction work continuing. Our next priority as far as flood recovery will be kind of building for resilience to prevent us from having another major issue with washed out roads and that kind of thing if we have a future event,” said Sholly. “Priority one was getting these sections repaired. Travel is allowed but there are flaggers to control traffic through the construction zone, which is still a bit rough. Work is still underway to fix that section, so the road will not be paved until about the 23rd of October, though engineers say it could be completed a little earlier. It reduces the maintenance on the rock fall, all of those things.” National Park Service Project Manager Doug Madson said of the work to cut down the eroded hillside, “So, we have a much safer slope for the long term, for any traffic that’s going to be going on this road. It’s so bad, crews are still working to cut back the hillside. ![]() That’s where a washout was particularly severe. The other section is near the trailhead to Trout Lake. So far only one lane is repaired, so, traffic lights will let one direction through at a time. If you’re coming from the west, the first will be along the Lamar River where flooding undercut the road. There are two segments where you’ll notice that the most. There is still a lot of work to do, still a lot of cleanup,” said Park Superintendent Cam Sholly. That doesn’t mean the construction and the repairs are over. “So you’ll see traffic at eight o’clock on Saturday morning traveling this road. If you take the road, what you’ll experience will not be the same ride as you would have had before the June flooding: MTN received an exclusive drive on the Tower to Northeast Road in advance of the opening. The new road is due to open no later than the first of November. ![]() That entrance is still closed for construction of a new road to replace large portions of the former North Entrance Road which were also washed out by the June flooding. What drivers cannot do is enter from the North Entrance at Gardiner. Of course, the reverse is true as well, vehicles may enter in the northeast and leave through any of the southern entrances. That means if you enter the park at West Yellowstone, Grand Teton, or from Cody, you can drive through the park to Tower and then leave through the Northeast Entrance. What is opening Saturday is the road from Tower to the Northeast Entrance. Large portions of the rod were washed out by historic flooding on June 13 of this year. 15, 2022, the northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park will re-open to the public.
