文旅:犹他锡安国家公园落石路段抢通:锡安至卡梅尔山公路恢复游客通行

美国国家公园管理局10月9日发布消息:位于犹他州华盛顿县的锡安国家公园,锡安至卡梅尔山公路(Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway)自10月9日起恢复游客通行。此前在10月6日,东入口至 Great Arch Overlook 的7.5英里路段已先行重开,供观光与日间使用。
9月30日,一处大型岩体崩塌压上公路,损毁路面并阻断交通,路段随之关闭,以便专家评估落石区并启动维修。
施工队已大幅推进落石清理并移除受损沥青。因落石规模与维修量大,路面暂铺碎石,近期将重新铺装,过境车辆需减速,并留意车辆与行人。公园南入口、摆渡车系统与锡安峡谷景观大道照常运行。
Travel: Zion-Mount Carmel Highway Reopens to Visitors in Utah's Zion National Park After Rockfall Repairs
The National Park Service announced on October 9 that the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway in Zion National Park, in Washington County, Utah, had reopened to visitor traffic. A 7.5-mile section from the East Entrance to Great Arch Overlook had already reopened on October 6 for sightseeing and day use.
On September 30, a large rockfall came down on the highway, damaging the road surface and blocking traffic. The section was closed so specialists could assess the rockfall area and begin repairs.
Crews have made major progress clearing the rockfall and removing damaged asphalt. Because of the scale of the rockfall and the repairs, the surface is temporarily gravel and will be repaved soon; drivers should slow down and watch for vehicles and pedestrians. The park's South Entrance, shuttle system and Zion Canyon Scenic Drive are operating as usual.
