BTNF begins road maintenance project on Greys River Road
June 10, 2026
The Bridger-Teton National Forest will begin road maintenance work on the Greys River Road beginning in June, with work anticipated to be completed by July 2.
Motorists can expect numerous large haul trucks and other heavy equipment operating on the road from the trailhead to approximately milepost 12 this week. Use extra caution when driving in the area. When passing heavy equipment, ensure operators can see your vehicle before proceeding and allow extra space around construction traffic. Intermittent traffic delays are expected. Follow all posted signage and traffic restrictions in the area.
Forest Service road crews will perform maintenance work to prepare the road surface for contractors, who will apply a new aggregate surface course—a fresh layer of crushed gravel that restores and improves the road surface. Crews will use a motor grader to improve water drainage, remove surface irregularities such as potholes and washboards and create a consistent base for the new material. Contractors will then begin hauling, unloading and installing the new aggregate surface course on June 15.
The Bridger-Teton National Forest appreciates the public’s cooperation and understanding. These temporary disruptions will result in improved road conditions and better recreational access.
The Greys River Road maintenance project is funded by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) and supports a national Forest Service priority to enhance access and improve visitor experiences. Established in 2020, the GAOA provides dedicated funding to address deferred maintenance across public lands. The Forest Service is investing in these improvements nationwide to ensure communities and visitors can safely reach and enjoy their national forests.
