Is this a serious question? You're talking about nature here!

No. The roads closed because of high water from the river. The only way to fix that is either put a dam in the upper Yosemite Valley, or elevate the road the length of the Valley. At least with the dam you could take a boat to Half Dome instead of having to walk to it.
