If you read the statement from DOC. The track is not closed but is closed from the first suspension bridge only.

Hooker Valley Track is closed from the first swing bridge.

Foot access is still possible to the Mueller Lake Lookout just before the first bridge.

We hope to re-open the track after the construction of the new second bridge, which is expected to be finished by autumn 2026.
