Bridger-Teton National Forest Starts Paving Operations on the Pinedale Ranger District

The Pinedale Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest will begin road paving operations on the Fremont Lake Road and Skyline Drive starting in late July 2024. During this paving process, road priming will occur that includes a mixture of asphalt road oil that has chips and rocks within it, which can adhere to the undercarriage of vehicles if driven over. The public is asked to please stay in identified lanes to avoid coming into contact with this road priming oil.

Delays of up to 30-minutes may occur during paving operations. No traffic will be given priority access during these planned delays except for law enforcement and emergency services. Longer delays may occur, and the Forest will notify the public of any extended traffic delays or closures.

“We understand this may inconvenience individuals visiting the area, so we appreciate 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. Traffic management crews will work with residents and visitors to minimize disruptions.
