WILSON, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) announced Tuesday that the right turn from WY22 onto WY390 for westbound traffic heading from town toward Teton Village will close from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23.

“Those traveling westbound on WY22 and turning northbound onto WY390, the Village Road, in the morning hours, will not have access to the free right, but have to make the right turn at the WYO 22/390 signal,” WYDOT said via press release.

According to WYDOT, the contractors will conduct paving operations for future detours for the intersection realignment project. The closure is scheduled to last less than a day. 

WYDOT will also reduce traffic on Snake River Bridge to one lane on Wednesday evening beginning at 8 p.m. to remove the bridge railings with concrete barriers. The night work is expected to be completed by 6 a.m. on Thursday.
