INDEX – Mount Index River Road, also known as Forest Service Road 6020, is open with one lane of traffic for local residents from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. this weekend.
It is not scheduled to be open to the public until Wednesday.
Workers are building a new roadway into the hillside adjacent to the old road, and unexpected problems have postponed the opening to all traffic, said Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest spokeswoman Renee Bodine.
