hi,
it´s quite easy, if there will be lot´s of rain in june, it will be closed, police will not let you pass. if it´s still dry about that time, it will be open. no other chance as to check it out once you arrive there. todo

Valley of the Serpent
They do close the roads, especially when the earthen bridges collapse. However, once the rain stops for a bit then the bridges get rebuilt with a bit more earth and people carry on. The advantage of having a bike is that they will let you through, when its not raining, because the bike can pass through the rivers without hassles. I did it on a triumph thunderbird, i felt sorry for people stuck in their tro tro buses between broken bridges.
