Road Closures as of 7/2
Just saw NPS post this on 7/2:
River Road, Old Maverick Road, and Route 16 (Santa Elena Canyon) are closed due to unsafe conditions. Expect rough and muddy conditions on all gravel and dirt roads.
Anyone have any insight or speculation when they'll reopen? I know a lot of the roads where closed for awhile after some other summer storms but had recently largely reopened. Curious if the weather that caused this recent closure was as serious at the flooding that caused them to be closed for months or not.
I'm planning on heading that way for a few days of driving starting on 7/12 and trying to guess if these closures are just going to be for a few days while some flooding recedes are if it was more serious than that.
I know it's all just speculation but curious if anyone near the area knows how much rain they received (assuming that's what caused the recent closures).
