Zion-Mount Carmel Highway closes for repairs
The Zion-Mount Carmel Highway through Zion National Park, connecting State Route 9 between Springdale and Mt. Carmel Junction, will temporarily close Sept. 5 and 6 from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. for emergency repairs to the asphalt roadway and guard walls.
The roadway and guard walls were damaged in several places July 11 when a storm pounded the park with three inches of rain in three hours. The road repairs are necessary to help prevent further damage to these structures.
Alternate east and west routes are available via Highway 59 from Hurricane to Fredonia, Arizona, and Highway 14 from Cedar City to Long Valley Junction and Highway 89. People may access the park by traveling east on State Route 9 from Interstate 15. All park facilities including the visitor center, museum, campgrounds, and shuttle buses will be open and operating as normal in Zion Canyon.
