Zion National Park officials are proposing to give the south portion of the park, which includes the visitors center, a major makeover or redesign. They will present the proposal on at an online meeting on Tuesday evening.
Overloaded and overwhelmed by vehicles and crowds much of the year, the area around the visitors center and south entrance to Zion National Park could get a major makeover to reduce congestion.
Jaden Wood doesn’t need stats to know how congested the area can be. He has learned from hard experience to steer clear of the park, especially the south area during peak visitation times. It would further entail replacing the existing Watchman Campground Road with a new reconfiguration further east. As part of that realignment, the current Watchman Campground Bridge that crosses the north fork of the Virgin River would be removed and replaced with a four-lane vehicular bridge with a longer span further upstream.
If approved, construction on the redesign would begin next fall and wrap up some time in 2026. The building activity would be restricted to avoid negative impacts to wildlife and visitors, according to the environmental assessment.
