Construction crews assigned to the Going-to-the-Sun Road rehabilitation project are back to working during the day intermittently, according to the Federal Highway Administration.
A newsletter sent out by the agency on July 14 said visitors should anticipate up to 30 minute delays on the Sun Road. Nighttime operations will continue with intermittent daytime operations when required.
All road projects in the park are overseen by the Federal Highway Administration, which provides updates about the Sun road project on their website: https://highways.dot.gov/federal-lands/projects/mt/pra-glac-10-45.
