With the money this state spends on road work, would think that would be an easy fix as opposed to closing down a very heavily traveled road with little or no alternate routes. Half the time I'm on that road there's a guy in a white truck, a state or park employee, who seems to be blowing leaves or sweeping the street on Old Mine Road. Never really quite understood what he's doing but if the state can pay for that guy they can certainly shell out some money to repair a much needed road......I would hope!

For what it's worth, it's not state. It's federal land. Those white trucks are National Park Service. No state money involved. That aside I don't see anywhere in the article it saying they may close the road permanently. That section is fairly heavily traveled and is the only thoroughfare through the area.
