Yellowstone National Park’s Golden Gate safety project is being scaled back after costs soared and federal budgets were revised.
Originally announced in 2024, the Norris-Golden Gate Road Reconstruction Project inside Yellowstone National Park is being scaled back due to soaring costs and federal budgets revisions.
The original proposal came with a $22 million price tag and called for a stone-walled path leading to the overlook for Rustic Falls, road widening from 22 feet to 30 feet, stone guardrails and a larger parking area
According to Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Cam Sholly, the revised project will not be as ambitious as the original proposal. Details to the extent of the scaled down version have not been made public, nor has a timeline for the revised plan.
