The park will waive entrance fees Saturday and Sunday to celebrate the recent completion of a monthslong road project that inconvenienced visitors and caused closures much of 2017.

The project lasted nine months and replaced roads that were built in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The $16 million worth of road work included the resurfacing, restoration and rehabilitation of approximately 23 miles of roads and pullouts, including those along the entrance (U.S. 191) and main roads, in the campground and other spurs and loops.

Devils Garden Campground remains closed, however, awaiting the completion of a new water tank.
