Construction Update: Going-to-the-Sun Road: Repave Along Lake McDonald

Crews are currently performing day work which cannot be performed at night due to the proximity of Sprague Creek campground and Lake McDonald Lodge. This is called the NO-NIGHTWORK SECTION and runs from 1,000-feet Sprague Creek Campground to Upper McDonald Cr Rd. There is the possibility of two work zones because of the work the contractor is performing. However, the maximum cumulative delay regardless of number of work zones is 30-minutes in each direction.

Starting July 31, night work will restart, 7 pm-6 am, west of Sprague Creek Campground and will move west towards Apgar. There is the potential that day work could continue during this time in the NO-NIGHTWORK SECTION, depending on progress. Day or nighttime work is limited to total of 30-minute delays in either direction.

For the rest of the season there is a potential for daytime and nighttime construction depending on crew progress and needs. If anything changes we will do our best to get the word out as quickly as possible. This project is managed by Federal Highways which provides a newsletter that can be found here:
