Pavement loss the NPS has to contract for, so that almost always takes longer than just grading which they can do on their own (or like now with the help from other parks too). So actually some dirt roads can be fixed faster than paved. Right now the scope of everything is unprecedented and so very hard to predict based on past events. Also last year they got emergency funding from Congress, no guarantee that happens this year. Could end with fewer resources to tackle more damage than last year.

West Side never seems to open unless both ends of it are accessible. So until Badwater pavement is fixed all the way to Ashford I’d expect West Side to be closed even if it has been regraded.
