The White River Road to the White River Campground area will close for the winter at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, October 14, 2024. Deployment of Mount Rainier National Park staff to the Hurricane Helene recovery effort necessitates the change to the new closure date from the prior estimated closure date of October 20, 2024. The Mowich Lake Road will close at 9 a.m. on Monday, October 14, 2024.

From Monday, May 3, 2021, through Tuesday, August 31, 2021., Drakes Beach Road will be closed due to road work. The road closure is part of the park's two-year Federal Highways Administration and County of Marin road improvement project.

Travelers in Grand Teton National Park should plan ahead for construction closures during installation of new restroom facilities throughout the park. Closures are necessary for public safety and to facilitate the use of a crane.

Due to rainy, wet conditions this spring, construction progress was slowed on the Moose-Wilson Road and the road opening schedule has been delayed. The construction of the southern portion of Moose-Wilson Road will continue between the Granite Canyon Entrance and the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve (LSRP), opening to weekend traffic only through late July. The road closure is necessary to assure public safety during construction.
