Portions of Yellowstone’s Northeast Entrance Road in Lamar Canyon (between Tower Junction and Lamar Valley) were successfully blasted on June 5, 7 and 8. Due to the large clean up and removal of materials associated with the blasting, closures originally planned for yesterday (Monday), June 12, and June 15 are cancelled.
Additional blasting is needed to complete the job. Additional blasting / road closure windows will now occur on June 14, from 7–9 p.m., and June 21 and June 22 from 7–9 p.m. There is a likelihood the contractor will not need the entire 2-hour closure window and may open it sooner depending on clean up.
The park appreciates the public’s understanding as they continue to finish work on this critical section of road.
