Going to the Sun Road and Logan Pass expected to open today

The Going-to-the-Sun Road should open to through traffic for the entire 52 mile length pending an inspection of the road this morning.

A weather system moved in to the area last night, which could have caused some damage to the already soaked hillsides. Expect to encounter very narrow gravel roads with lots of water. The over three miles of single lane traffic is not for the weak of heart. Construction projects are still ongoing for the remainder of the summer and you should plan for lengthy delays.

This will be the latest opening of Sun Road over Logan Pass since 1943, when the pass was opened July 10 because of reduced staffing during World War II.
