केदारनाथ मार्ग पर कुंड और ऊखीमठ के बीच चोपता-मण्डल-गोपेश्वर मार्ग भारी भूस्खलन के चलते बन्द हो गया है।कुण्ड से आगे ऊखीमठ को जोड़ने वाला मार्ग उद्यान विभाग जेबरी (संसारी) के पास टूट गया है।जिस कारण उक्त मार्ग पर आवा जाही पूर्ण रूप से प्रतिबन्धित कर दी गयी है।अतः श्री केदारनाथ धाम यात्रा पर आये श्रद्धालुओं को सलाह दी जाती है कि,यदि वे श्री केदारनाथ यात्रा पूर्ण करने के उपरान्त यदि चोपता होते हुए बद्रीनाथ धाम यात्रा अथवा चोपता तुंगनाथ की तरफ भी जाना चाहते हैं,तो मुख्य राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग यानि गुप्तकाशी वाया रुद्रप्रयाग वाया कर्णप्रयाग वाया चमोली मार्ग का प्रयोग करें।
