Major construction repairs have now begun on flood damaged sections of the Yellowstone National Park’s Northeast Entrance Road near Cooke City and Silver Gate, Montana.
While the road was previously open to bicyclists and pedestrian traffic to Barronette Meadow, it will be closed near the Warm Creek Trailhead and picnic area.
Park officials estimate that these repairs will be completed by Oct. 15, allowing access between the Northeast Entrance and Cooke City and Silver Gate.
Yellowstone Park rangers are warning people using the roadway on foot or bicycle to be extremely cautious and expect heavy equipment on the roadways.
