HOBACK, Wyo. — Evans Construction will begin repairing the damaged section of Hoback Junction South Road June 26.

According to Teton County, repairs should be complete by June 30. Motorists should expect 30-minute delays June 26-30 due to the use of alternating lanes. One-lane closures will remain in effect throughout the night but the road will only be regulated during working hours.

The road closed to commercial vehicles and trailers on June 9. According to Teton County, Road and Levee staff observed asphalt distress and road slumping. The damage is north of the Deer Creek Heights Subdivision entrance and in close proximity to a steep slope.

The road was used as an access point to the Forest Service emergency route, Johnny Counts Road., after a too-tall semi-truck damaged the frame of the Astoria Bridge in December 2022.
