Update: The installation of the bridge has been postponed until further notice, according to Teton BUILD. The bridge was originally going to be installed on Monday, Feb. 26 before the first rescheduling.
WILSON, Wyo. — The Pathways system continues to see improvements in Wilson, with the installation of the Fish Creek Pathway Bridge expected to take place on Tuesday, Feb. 27, and potentially Wednesday, Feb. 28, according to Teton BUILD Grant.
Drivers should allow extra travel time as traffic on WY22 through Wilson will be reduced to a single lane while work is conducted.
The bridge will be loaded onto a transport truck and trailer at the Stilson staging area before being hauled to Fish Creek. The current guardrail in place along Fish Creek will be removed, and cranes on either side of the creek will lower the new bridge into its new home.
The Wilson to Stilson Pathway was designed to provide a connection to the Teton County pathway system for those who live or recreate on the south side of WY22, including connections to the Snake River Bridge pathway and Moose Wilson Road.
The last milestone in the project came in November, when a paved path from Stilson Transit Center to the Teton Raptor Center opened, marking the completion of the pathway’s first phase. The second phase, including this new bridge, is expected to be finished in 2024, connecting bicyclists and pedestrians with downtown Wilson.
