Glacier Road
 
The Going-to-the-Sun Road was completed in 1932 and is a spectacular 52 mile, paved two-lane highway that bisects the park east and west. It spans the width of Glacier, crossing the Continental Divide at 6,646-foot-high Logan Pass.  This is the only road that goes through Glacier National Park.Â
In the fall of 2006 heavy rains and flooding damaged most of the road. In the intervening months crews have been working to make the repairs necessary to make the road safe for daily travel once again. As of this spring many lower elevation Sun Road storm damage repairs are completed. East of Logan Pass, however parts of both lanes were lost at six locations. The east side stabilization necessary to get the Sun Road open for visitors is the park’s top priority over the scheduled road work.
The NPS and FHWA are committed to maintaining ‘shared use’ of the Sun Road (by both of the public and contractors at the same time) during core summer months throughout the multi-year project. “During the core summer season there will be only temporary delays (several short delays totaling a maximum of 30 minutes) for a trip across the entire 50-mile road. During the spring and fall, public use may be restricted through work zones while the rest of the Sun Road remains open, weather permitting.Â
