WEST GLACIER, MONT – Repair work recently began on three segments of the rock guard wall along Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR) between Triple Arches and Oberlin Bend. Visitors should plan on fifteen minute delays with one-lane traffic control during daylight hours and traffic control lights at night. Both lanes of travel will be open on Labor Day weekend, from September 3 through September 5.  After Labor Day construction on the GTSR resumes and sections of the road return to their one-lane status. Construction on the wall will continue until winter weather determines otherwise.
