However, access to the emergency route cannot begin until Isaac Hale Beach Park is made fit for reopening, Ley said.
"The next step is to make efforts to assess the condition of Isaac Hale before we can take any steps to reopen it," she said.
Mayor Harry Kim said dead fish have been found in some of the newly formed ponds and that further water tests have yet to be completed.
In addition, new signage has to be installed in the park, and guardrails, road signs and centerlines need to be installed on the access route.
Ley said the park initially was expected to be opened in December, but the plans for how the park will be restored have since changed.
Kim said the county is still aiming for a December opening date for the park.
Until the park is reopened, access to the road across the flow will be restricted by a locked gate located just north of MacKenzie State Recreation Area, Ley said. After the park reopens, the gate will be open during daylight hours.
