Heavy winter and spring rains haven’t been kind to the road leading into Ecola State Park. Park Manager Ben Cox has closed the road to vehicle and walk-in access because the road is slipping downhill. “The road was built over active, slow-moving landslides and we’ve long had trouble spots,” said Cox. “This year’s rainy season and subsequent ground movement have made the road nearly impassable and unsafe for visitors.” On April 17, Bob McEwan Construction will begin removing the damaged asphalt sections and replace with a compacted gravel surface. The repairs will cost under $10,000. Cox said the road should reopen by April 20 pending any weather-related delays.
