Road construction is going to further clog traffic in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.

Through November, construction crews are set to work on the popular park’s entire 26-mile road system. On its website, the park warns of  significant impacts to motorized travel and hiking. Most work will occur at night, and all paved park roads will close from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., except Friday and Saturday nights, and visitors must be out of the park by 7. Visitors should also expect daytime driving delays and road, trail, and area closures.
