The public is invited to comment on a preliminary proposal to reroute approximately 0.25 mile of the Stehekin Valley Road at milepost 5.5 in Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. The National Park Service (NPS) is planning this project in partnership with the Federal Highways Administration.

Feedback on the proposed action, environmental issues that should be addressed, other potential alternatives, and sources of data that should be considered by the NPS are requested. Comments will be accepted December 1, 2020 through January 14, 2021.
