The gate for access to Marina Way on the east side of Grand Coulee Dam and Lake Roosevelt will close at 7:30 p.m. each day through Sept. 1, instead of access being open from dawn until dusk.

“The decision for closing access to Marina Way in the evening is not a result of funding, but rather a desire to more efficiently use the Security Response Force staff at Grand Coulee Dam,” Public Affairs Specialist for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Lynne Brougher told The Star in an email.

Brougher said that security personnel are looking into options for what to do after Sept. 1.

The decision to close access before dusk during the summer comes on the heels of a decision to restrict people from driving onto the beach known as Geezer Beach that is accessed from Marina Way.
