惠特曼县的Steptoe Butte国家公园将在2026年2月15日重新开放,此前,由于洪水破坏以及340万美元的公路重排和安全升级项目,该公园已关闭近一年。 Steptoe Butte State Park in Whitman County will reopen on February 15, 2026, after being closed nearly a year due to flood damage and a $3.4 million road repaving and safety upgrade project. 由于包括洪水和雪在内的恶劣天气,1月份重新开放的初期计划被推迟。 洪水和雪毁坏了下厕所区,修复工作进展缓慢。 Initial plans to reopen in January were delayed by severe weather, including flooding and snow, which damaged the lower restroom area and slowed repairs. 建筑工人的夏季罢工也造成了延误。 A summer strike by construction workers also contributed to the delay. 该项目包括重新铺设四英里长的公路、更换护栏和增加安全特征。 The project includes resurfacing four miles of road, replacing guardrails, and adding safety features. 官员强调,关闭时进入公园是非法的,11月发布了五条引文。 Officials emphasize that entering the park while closed is illegal, with five citations issued in November.
