During the winter storm of January 2002, the Dosewallips River Road (FS 2610) suffered major damage at mile post 10, which effectively closed the road. The FS issued a decision that has been appealed. The public can provide comment on this plan through May 22nd.

The extensive road network in Olympic National Forest has deteriorated over the last few years with the reduction in logging intensity and corresponding lack of routine maintenance. The road failures have resulted in destruction of aquatic habitat and reduced access. Repair work and decommissioning has begun with the introduction of a new road management plan in fall 2002.
