The Hoh Rain Forest area of Olympic National Park in Washington state is temporarily closed until repairs are completed on Upper Hoh Road outside the park boundary.

Jefferson County officials closed the Upper Hoh Road to through traffic Friday due to the washout at milepost 8. Road repairs are scheduled to begin this week. The work is expected to take two weeks to complete and the road will remain closed during repairs.

The Hoh campground and visitor center are currently closed. The campground will reopen when the road repairs are complete. The visitor center is scheduled to reopen as usual in March.

For current park road and travel information, visitors should consult the park website at http://www.nps.gov/olym and call the recorded Road and Weather Hotline at 360-565-3131.
