Roughly six miles of the North Fork Road between the Fish Creek Campground and Camas Creek Bridge is expected to open this weekend, Glacier National Park officials said on Wednesday.
Road crews are currently completing temporary repairs, including grading of the area and laying surface gravel to improve conditions after continuous flooding. The section of the road between Polebridge and Logging Creek opened to vehicle traffic in May.
The road between Camas Creek Bridge and Logging Creek will remain closed due to flooding and road washout. Crews will focus on areas near Anaconda Creek and Logging Creek over the next few weeks, according to the park. The entire length of the Inside North Fork Road could open later this season depending on the level of damage found and resources needed to ensure vehicle travel can occur safely, park officials said.
The Inside North Fork Road is a 28-mile gravel road between the Fish Creek Campground and Polebridge. Use of recreational, towed and low-clearance vehicles is strongly discouraged on the road.
