Paving began this week on the Going-to-the-Sun Road between Avalanche Creek and Logan Creek, on the west side of the park. Visitors can expect delays of 20 minutes.

Work is expected to be completed by the end of the week, depending on weather.

Rehabilitation work on the Going-to-the-Sun Road also continues on the east side of the park, between Rising Sun and Siyeh Bend. Visitors can expect a 20 minute maximum delay. Public access is limited after 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday between Rising Sun and Siyeh Bend.

Logan Pass is accessible from the west side during this time.

Sun Point, located on the east side, is closed to the public and being utilized as a staging area for rehabilitation activities. The Sun Point picnic area and restroom facilities are not available, and the park shuttle does not stop at this location. It is anticipated that Sun Point will remain closed to the public for the next few years, or through rehabilitation work.

The visitor shuttle system traveling the Going-to-the-Sun Road will operate through Labor Day.
