Road work halted during holiday weekend

Work on two road projects in Yellowstone National Park will be temporarily halted so visitors can travel through the park without delays over the July 4th holiday weekend.

There will be no road work, delays, or overnight closures on the road between Norris and Madison through Gibbon Canyon from 8:00 a.m. Friday morning, July 3, until 8:00 a.m. Monday morning, July 6. Motorcyclists are urged to use caution traveling through this area due to loose gravel.

The cold-in-place recycling project underway between the Lewis River Bridge and the park’s South Entrance will also be halted from 6:00 p.m. Friday, July 3, until 6:00 a.m., Monday, July 6.

Outside the park, there will be no delays Friday through Sunday on the section of US-212 between the park’s Northeast Entrance and Cooke City, and no delays on the Beartooth Highway between Clay Butte Lookout to the Montana/Wyoming state line from Friday noon until Monday morning.
