ALTA, Wyo. — Construction on Lower Ski Hill Road and Alta North Road will begin on Aug. 30, and will likely continue through mid-October, announced Teton County.
Motorists should expect delays while crews complete resurfacing projects. The roads, which are in various stages of surface deterioration, will be reduced to one lane with motorists being directed by a temporary traffic light on a five-minute timer.
According to Teton County, repairs to the roads consist of removing and rebuilding soft areas and milling and rejuvenating the existing pavement surface before new asphalt is applied. This process uses technology and equipment to recycle existing aggregate materials which in turn, reduces costs.
The area impacted is the 2.5-mile section of Ski Hill Road from Stateline Road to the cattleguard immediately west of the turnoff onto the Teton Canyon gravel road, and the Alta North Road from its intersection with Ski Hill Road, north 1.2 miles, to near the Kaufman Road and Yellow Rose Drive intersection.
