Zion National Park will be using a digital three-dimensional scanner to map the inside of the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway Tunnel to assess its condition. Visitors through the tunnel should expect 20-30 minute delays due to tunnel closures on weekdays between March 12 and 27, 2015. The time for the closures has been updated.
The tentative project schedule is as follows:
- March 12, 2015- The tunnel will be closed 3 times for approximately 20 minutes each.
- March 16-20, 2015- From 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m., the tunnel will be closed for up to 25 minutes at a time.
- March 23-27, 2015- The scanning may be finished by this time, but if not, it will continue on the same 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. schedule as the week before.
