Eagle Falls Trailhead parking lot will be closed from 7pm to 6am Aug8-12  to accommodate construction on Highway 89 as part of Caltrans’ stormwater pollution prevention efforts.

The $13 million Emerald Bay water quality improvement project includes constructing new drainage facilities which will capture stormwater runoff and filter out dirt, oil and litter before it gets to the lake. The project will also repave a four-mile section of the highway from Cascade Road to just north of the Eagle Falls viaduct over Emerald Bay.

Completion is expected in summer 2017.
