Final repairs to the North Kaibab Trail were completed in early June, 2008, and all travel restrictions have been lifted. The remaining restrictions had mainly affected the concession run mule rides.

Winter storms had damaged the 3rd trail bridge north of Phantom Ranch (an area often referred to as "The Box") and most reparations were being made when, in early April, the Park Service found a series of retaining walls between Supai Tunnel and Roaring Springs had also been destroyed by winter rock falls.

The bridge repairs are only temporary and final repairs will be made this winter as creek flows decrease.
