Whiskey Bend Road, the 4.5-mile road that connects Olympic Hot Springs Road to the Whiskey Bend trailhead, was reopened to public entry at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 28. Hauling activities along the road were completed faster than anticipated, permitting the road to be reopened one day earlier than scheduled.
The road was closed from 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. daily beginning on Monday, June 25 to allow safe passage for heavy truck traffic hauling material from the Glines Canyon Dam area. The road was scheduled to be closed until Friday, June 29.
Hauling activities continue along Olympic Hot Springs Road. Caution is advised along Olympic Hot Springs Road due to continued heavy truck traffic. Dump trucks will be transporting material removed from the Glines Canyon Dam through the end of the work week.
