The road work discussed below will affect access to the Walhalla Plateau, including backcountry use areas Walhalla Plateau (NA0) and Cape Final (NA1).
On June 21, 2010, pavement preservation work began on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. In order to facilitate the safe and timely completion of this work, it will be necessary to temporarily close the North Rim Scenic Drive on two separate occasions.
The National Park Service will be closing all or most of the North Rim Scenic Drive twice during the month of August. Cape Royal Road (the portion of the Scenic Drive beyond its junction with the Point Imperial Road) will be closed Monday – Wednesday, August 9 – 11 and again Monday – Wednesday, August 16 – 18. The entire Scenic Drive from its junction with Highway 67 (including Cape Royal Road) will be closed on Wednesday, August 11 and again on Wednesday, August 18. These temporary closures will not include primary roadways (Highway 67) or businesses and services on the North Rim.
While these planned closure dates are “firm”, they are also weather dependent. North Rim visitors, community members and park partners are encouraged to visit the park’s construction page regularly at www.nps.gov/grca/parkmgmt/const.htm for the latest updates and changes.
