Parts of Yellowstone National Park may stay closed for 'substantial length of time' after severe flooding

While all entrances of Yellowstone National Park are temporarily closed because flooding has damaged roads and bridges, the park's northern portion in particular may remain closed for "a substantial length of time," park officials said Tuesday.
"Many sections of road in (the park's northern areas) are completely gone and will require substantial time and effort to reconstruct," a news release reads. "... It is probable that road sections in northern Yellowstone will not reopen this season due to the time required for repairs."
Dangerous flooding caused by abundant rain and rapid snowmelt began to hit the park and several counties in southern Montana on Monday, washing out or eroding roads and bridges and inflicting widespread damage on homes and businesses.

The Trump administration’s dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and its sweeping freeze on foreign assistance has made it more difficult to track potential misuse of US taxpayer-funded humanitarian assistance, meaning it could end up unintentionally going to terrorist groups, according to a new report from the agency’s independent watchdog.
