Not sure what is opening much faster than expected? There was no major damage on the southern loop and some of the campgrounds remain closed. There is no consideration to opening the north or northeast entrances as both the Gardner River canyon road and the road through the Lamar valley are severely damaged or destroyed. There isn’t even a preliminary plan for the north entrance, so construction is still a long way off.
The south loop was never really in question, so I agree, nothing unexpected.
The north loop was suggested in early reports that it might not open this year but now appears to be opening with limitations.
The heavily impacted north and NE entrances are still likely closed thru this year. I'm sure there is a plan and it's moving forward at breakneck speeds...just maybe not put forth publicly at this point.
