[pct-l] Deep Creek Detour no longer necessary

[AsABat]

I asked PCTA about this today. The trail IS still officially closed. They were there today. The bridge has not been repaired and the short but difficult slide is still there. They're getting ready to start repairs which will take some time including the bridge repair and a quite large retaining wall to fix the slide.

Apparently the Deep Creek Detour is no longer necessary (if it ever
was), the trail is completely repaired, slides and bridges both. This
from fellow hikers, one of whom had also personally spoken with a ranger
who had worked on the repairs. I took the detour ten days ago, not
having seen any posts or info about the trail being fixed, and being in
a conservative state of mind at the time. There is no trail closed sign
at the turning point at the Deep Creek Bridge, but I assumed that was
vandals and not to be trusted. The detour signs all along the road walk
are still up. Wish I had taken the real trail!
