Update for June 6, 2008
The weather continues to be cool and somewhat damp, but the river is dropping. Let’s continue to hope for a quick return to those clear warm days and nights not only for those campers, fishermen and rafters, but also for the road construction.
The road may have changed since your last visit, so please be cautious and patient when traveling through the construction area and abide by the signs placed for your safety and everyone else’s safety also.
Here is the summer schedule at a glance:
| Time | Delay |
| 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. | 2-hour delays |
| 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. | open road |
| 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. | 30-minute delays |
