Construction will begin the week of October 31, for a new and improved entrance station at the Fall River Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The Fall River Entrance is one of two major entrance stations on the east side of the park and is located on U.S. Highway 34, just inside the park boundary.

​落基山国家公园秋季河入口将新建改进型游客中心​​。施工将于10月31日当周开始。秋季河入口是落基山国家公园东侧两个主要入口之一，位于美国34号公路，紧邻公园边界。

During this major construction project, only one lane at Fall River Entrance will be operational to enter the park and one lane to exit. Park visitors are strongly encouraged to avoid the Fall River Entrance and use the Beaver Meadows Entrance. During this major project, park visitors should expect extended wait times at both major east side entrance stations. Weather and resources depending, the project should be completed by late June.

落基山国家公园秋季河入口将实行​​单车道管制​​（一进一出），建议游客尽量避开该入口，改道​​海狸草甸入口​​通行。东侧两大入口车流较大，​​需预留更多通行时间​​。工程预计于​​6月下旬​​完工，具体视天气及施工进度而定。

Originally designed for summer operations nearly 60 years ago, the facilities at the Fall River Entrance Station no longer meet the safety or operational needs of the park. When the entrance station was designed, the park had approximately one and a half million annual visitors. By 2019, annual visitation almost tripled, to over four and a half million annual visitors. Improvements are needed to improve visitor access and convenience, reduce traffic congestion, and provide a safe and efficient space for park employees.

落基山国家公园秋季河入口站最初设计于近60年前，仅考虑夏季运营需求。当前设施已无法满足公园日益增长的安全与运营需求。入口站设计时年接待量约150万人次，至2019年已增至450万人次（增长近3倍）。人们需要做出改善来提升游客通行便利性、缓解交通拥堵，并为员工提供更安全高效的工作环境。

A fast pass lane will be added, along with road widening which should improve visitor wait times and experience while entering through the Fall River Entrance. A new office and three kiosks, with proper ventilation, will be constructed. In addition, a new entrance sign will be installed which will include a small formal parking area.

将会增设快速通道车道，并拓宽道路，这将显著减少秋季河入口的游客等待时间和提升体验。新建一个办公室，增设3个配备完善通风系统的服务亭。除此以外还将安装全新入口标识牌，并配套小型正规停车场。

An additional project will rehabilitate and replace components of the wastewater and water systems serving the Fall River Entrance and Bighorn Ranger Station. The on-site wastewater treatment system will be replaced, and other upgrades will occur. Many aspects of the water system will be replaced, and the water treatment building will be improved. A culvert crossing Fall River Road is severely deteriorated and does not meet 100-year flood standards, it will be upgraded and replaced during this project as well.

另有一个项目将对福尔河入口（Fall River Entrance）和大角羊护林站（Bighorn Ranger Station）所使用的废水及供水系统进行修复和部件更换。现场废水处理系统将被替换，并实施其他升级改造。供水系统的多个部分也将进行更换，同时水处理建筑将得到改善。一条横跨福尔河路的涵洞已严重老化，且不符合百年一遇洪水标准，本项目期间也将对其进行升级和更换。

The Fall River Visitor Center will remain open with winter hours of 9 am to 4:30 p.m. seven days a week. For further information about Rocky Mountain National Park, please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.
