Cattleman’s Bridge To Open For Single-Lane Traffic Monday 

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) and Teton County would like to advise local residents that crews have reevaluated the schedule for the Cattleman’s bridge and are working towards opening the bridge sometime this weekend. The bridge will be open to single lane traffic by Monday morning, June 25. The original date for the opening was delayed due to heavy rains and thunderstorms and additional work on utilities and manhole adjustments.
The old bridge was closed for construction and replacement, while a temporary bridge was placed to carry traffic. However, the temporary bridge was closed in late May, due to unsafe conditions and potential catastrophic failure of the temporary structure due to the scouring and sinking of one of the structure’s piers.
The contract was awarded to Reiman Corp. in October for $3.8 million. The Teton County bridge is located on Spring Gulch Road north of Jackson. The project is part WYDOT’s Bridge Replacement Off System program where WYDOT partners with local counties to replace deficient bridges off the state highway system.
