Several road construction projects will take place this year that will affect travel within Yellowstone National Park.

The biggest project will be on a segment of the park’s Grand Loop Road between Madison and Norris through Gibbon Canyon.   

Visitors can expect up to 30-minute delays on the road through the Gibbon Canyon throughout the summer. This section of road will also be closed to travel between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. every night from May 26 through August 16. 

There will be no construction delays or night time closures during the Memorial Day and Independence Day holiday weekends.

This section of road will be completely closed to all travel between Artists Paint Pots and the Tuff Cliff Picnic Area beginning August 17. The closure is needed in order to remove an existing bridge and build a new span across the Gibbon River. This section of road will remain closed until it reopens to snowmobile and snowcoach travel in December.
