Stevens Canyon Road should reopen by 5 p.m. Thursday.

Acting superintendent Randy King said final inspection of the repairs done to the flood damage stretch at milepost 14.1 is scheduled for earlier today. If all goes well, the road across the southern portio of the park will reopen that evening.

This road, east of Backbone Ridge Viewpoint, was damaged during a January storm and has been closed to through traffic all season.

South Sound reisdents wanting to access the southeast corner of the park have been forced to use Highway 7 and U.S. 12 or Skate Creek Road.
