Yellowstone National Park Press Release
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — Yellowstone National Park’s (YNP) East Entrance Road between the East Entrance and Pelican Valley, located east of Fishing Bridge, will close temporarily Monday, June 12.
The closure will last from 12 to 2 p.m. for visitor safety.
On June 11, an unexploded round of ammunition was unexpectedly located adjacent to the road on Sylvan Pass. According to a press release from the park, it is likely a dud from this past winter’s avalanche mitigation program.
A team from a U.S. military ordnance disposal group will detonate the explosives during the closure, and the road will re-open following the mitigation of the hazard.
