Zion National Park could get big repairs

ZION NATIONAL PARK (AP) — Zion National Park officials are proposing major repairs for nine miles of road.

Park officials have completed an environmental assessment of the Mount Carmel Highway project, which would rehabilitate the road from Canyon Junction to the East Entrance.

The road was completed in 1930 and has only had routine maintenance. Park officials say it's been damaged by rain, snow, heat and heavy traffic over the years.

The first phase of the work could begin next year. The park is taking public comment on the project until July 28.
