Glacier National Park plows are making significant progress on the west side of the Divide. Crews are now working around Road Camp, which is a little more than 5 miles from Logan Pass.
The hard closure this weekend for hikers and bikers is at Road Camp itself, which means bikers will have plenty of alpine terrain in this weekend.
The Many Glacier and Chief Mountain Roads have also opened for the summer season.
The Going-to-the-Sun Road is open to Lake McDonald Lodge in the west side to motor vehicles and Rising Sun on the east side.
The east side hiker-biker closure is near Siyeh Bend.
Hikers and bikers should be aware that the first couple of miles of the Sun Road on the west side are not paved, but the surface is hard enough for bike riding.
Motorists should expect delays during the week on the west side due to ongoing construction.
