YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — The National Park Service has approved a plan aimed at relieving traffic congestion and improving safety at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park near Gardiner, Mont.

Park officials say a new entrance station complex will give visitors the option of entering Yellowstone through the historic Roosevelt Arch or by traveling over a new access road to bypass congestion. The plan also will expand the parking area at the entrance and add new crosswalks and walkways.

Improvements will be completed in phases during the early spring and late fall as funding becomes available.
