Not long after the passage was permanently blocked at the command of Turgon.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXIII: "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin" After being released from the captivity of Morgoth, Húrin sought out Gondolin but, on arrival, found the Dry River blocked.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXII: "Of the Ruin of Doriath"
