Yellowstone National Park says it will begin taking public comments about a proposed permanent road between Gardiner and Mammoth on Monday, Feb. 12.
The park says it will offer three alternatives for a new North Entrance Road during webinars on Feb. 12 and Feb. 14.
Comments on the proposals will be accepted for 30 days with a draft environmental assessment of the final project expected in the fall of 2024.
The original North Entrance Road was destroyed by a 500-year flood event in June of 2022.
A YNP news release says the preferred method for submitting comments is online at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/NorthEntranceRoad [parkplanning.nps.gov].
Comments may also be mailed or hand-delivered to: Yellowstone Center for Resources, Attn: North Entrance Road EA, PO Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190.
The deadline to submit comments is Wednesday, March 13.
