MOOSE, Wyo. — In mid-September several roads in Grand Teton National Park will temporarily close for improvements.
Improvements will occur on Jenny Lake Scenic Drive, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Access Road and Signal Mountain Summit Road.
Jenny Lake Scenic Drive
The Jenny Lake One-way Scenic Drive will be temporarily closed Sept. 12-16 while road striping operations occur to improve cyclist safety in the area. The work is contingent on dry weather and closure dates may change. New road signs are also planned to be installed this fall.
Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Access Road
The access road to the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve is tentatively planned to temporarily close Sept. 26-30 to overlay the roadway with new asphalt to repair the existing asphalt surface.
Signal Mountain Summit Road
Signal Mountain Summit Road will be temporarily closed Sept. 14. The closure will begin at 8 a.m. to allow safe transport of a new radio tower to the top of Signal Mountain. This radio tower is important for communications during emergency responses. The road will reopen Sept. 15 at 8 a.m.
Additionally, travelers may encounter minor delays as work occurs on the Gros Ventre Roundabout and along Highway 26/89/191 in Grand Teton throughout the fall. Crews will install new lighting in the roundabout area as well as two winter gates along the highway near Moose and Moran.
