Overnight closure on SR 706 near Mount Rainier National Park Friday, Oct. 16
No access to the Nisqually Entrance of the park during closure
ASHFORD – Completing crucial drainage work before storm season requires a full closure of State Route 706 for one night near the Nisqually Entrance to Mount Rainier National Park.
From 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, until 6 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, SR 706 will close at Kernahan Road East. The closure creates a work zone for Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews to replace a failing culvert underneath the road.
During the overnight closure there will be no access to the Nisqually Entrance of Mount Rainier National Park from SR 706.
