Wrapping Up Another Season on the Goiing to the Sun Road

As snow returns to the highest peaks of Glacier National Park, the National Park Service and the Federal Highway Administration are finishing up another season of construction on the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Eighty years after the road was completed, the 52-mile alpine route through the heart of the park is still one of Glacier’s most popular attractions. Since 2006, the road has been the subject of an extensive, multi-year $130 million rehabilitation project. Because of that, the road was opened late and closed early to facilitate work. Long traffic delays have also become common on the road, but Park spokesperson Denise Germann said visitors don’t seem to mind.
