Water bottle, sunscreen, alternative parking plan.

“Preserving roads and parking areas are critical in maintaining park access and visitor enjoyment,” the park said in the post.
Estimates have them hopefully wrapping up just before Thanksgiving, one of the park's busiest times of the year. The inside of the museum should also be looking spiffy, as it just underwent a $59K lighting overhaul.
Below you can find details on the intermittent closures.
