I took these photos Sunday morning of the slide area in . Quite dramatic to see how this section of road has failed so entirely in the past couple of years.

A contractor will begin work this summer to build a bridge across the slide area. The project is anticipated by the NPS to take several years to complete, wrapping up in summer ‘26.

In an email to partners today, National Park leadership announced the slide Area won’t be reopened until July, 2026, adding a year and a half to the anticipated reopening date.

Design delays and too much clay discovered on the west side of the closure will require more time to address.

This is a disappointment for Kantishna area lodges and tour operators already facing 3 busy summer seasons of road closure at mile 43 of the Park Road.

Hello Mastadon world! I'm Catherine; I cut ethically sourced gemstones in my studio, and sometimes travel to collect stones to cut. I live on a small organic fruit and herb farm in Ohio (in the US) with some friendly animals, and family and friends nearby. I sell to jewelry designers, artisan jewelers and collectors, and can also cut custom gems. Let's talk about pretty rocks!
