Construction 2013
The 2013 Beartooth Highway construction project will be underway as we move closer to the summer travel season. Work will focus on replacement of the Long Lake Bridge, with reconstruction of 0.5 mile of roadway connecting this project to the previous Beartooth Highway projects that have been completed over the last several years. The project is expected to require one season to complete. Construction updates will be posted here throughout the 2013 travel season.

Current Conditions
The Beartooth Highway will open for the summer season at 9:00 am, Friday, May 24, 2013.
Travelers to the Highway will find that winter snows remain at higher elevations of the road. Travelers should plan on slower driving conditions at high elevations and on Beartooth Pass. Outdoor adventurers often take advantage of remaining high elevation snows and motorists should watch for traffic parked along the shoulders of the Highway.
A reminder - fast moving high elevation storms are common on the Beartooth Highway this time of year! While every effort will be made to keep the Highway open, travelers are advised to be weather aware!
