ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah (AP) -- Some business owners near Zion National Park's east entrance want road work to be done at night instead of during the day.
They say construction during the day has reduced traffic and seriously cut into business since the roadwork began June 7 on the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway. The business owners say the losses are already mounting early in the tourist season.
Park superintendent Jock Whitworth says he will speak with the paving company and try to get some of the work done at night instead of during the day.
But highway officials say there are safety concerns with working at night.
