General Information

Many roads and facilities in the parks were badly damaged during the winter of 2022-2023 by repeated major storms that began with a weather event in early January 2023 and followed by a succession of weather events in March 2023. Damage also occurred outside the parks on roads that provide access to some park areas.

In areas where road work is on-going or there are only temporary repairs, travel slowly and obey reduced speed limits and any traffic management, such as temporary traffic lights or flaggers.

This page will be updated when major road work is happening in the parks.

See the Road Conditions page for information on all park roads.
