Smelt Sands State Park on the north edge of Yachats will be closed for a week starting Monday, April 8 while a contractor paves the gravel entrance and parking lot.
Weather permitting, Oregon State Parks and Recreation said the paving project should be finished by Friday.
Dylan Anderson, manager of the agency’s central coast district, said the park will close to the public late Sunday evening or early Monday morning. Access to Lemwick Lane, a private road which shares the park entrance, will remain open to residents of that neighborhood.
The project contractor is Road & Driveway of Newport.
