Bridger-Teton National Forest Continues Road Construction and Improvements on Pinedale District

The Pinedale Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest will be starting a large road reconstruction project in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division, Sublette County, and the town of Pinedale. This work will begin in June 2024, and will continue into the late summer. Work will not take place in the winter months. The segment of road construction will be on the Fremont Lake Road from Skyline Drive to the Lower Boat Ramp at Fremont Lake.

During this construction process delay times of up to a half-hour may be observed. No traffic will be given priority access during these planned delays except for Law Enforcement and First Responder traffic. Longer delays may persist, and the Forest will notify the public when they know of any extended traffic delays or closures.

Construction activities taking place include, but will not be limited to, grading, drainage improvements, pulverization, aggregate base, and asphalt surfacing. While traveling in the area, heavy construction traffic may be present at any point, and a heightened attention to this activity will be necessary for the safety of everyone involved. Please keep in mind that the planned construction delays are there to help improve safety margins for those in the area.

“We understand this may inconvenience individuals traveling in the area, so we appreciate the cooperation and understanding from the public,” said Public Affairs Officer Mary Cernicek. Adherence to traffic restrictions and following appropriate signage will be critical to the safety of all people in the project area. This short inconvenience will give use many years of great road surface to travel on to access some of Sublette County’s favorite attractions.
