If you're heading to Yellowstone National Park over the Independence Day holiday weekend, you're in for a treat: road construction is on hold, which means you'll have few issues (past normal congestion, of course) as you drive on the popular Norris-to-Madison section.

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.
