Road Work This Weekend In Park

Work on the highway through Grand Teton National Park is being stepped up. Weekend work will take place on Saturday between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm on the north park road, beginning at Colter Bay Junction and traveling south. That work will include micro-surfacing, which is a smoother surface, similar to pavement. Motorists should expect up to 30-minute delays as workers will reduce the highway to one lane of travel. Then next week, road construction crews will continue to micro-surface between Sargent’s Bay Turnout and Jackson Lake Junction causing delays of up to 30-minute. They will then move to the Leeks Marina Access Road and delays there could be as long as 15-minutes. When that is completed, crews will return to fog-seal and stripe the remaining sections of highway, including Spread Creek to Elk Ranch Flats, Moran Junction to Jackson Lake Junction, and Sargent’s Bay to the southern boundary of the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway. Motorists should anticipate up to 15-minute delays. Once again, work will take place between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm. The final phase of emergency repairs related to the June 2017 washout of the Gros Ventre Road is expected to begin in late-August and continue into November.
