AFTON, Wyo. — The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) announced in a press release that construction delays will be expected this summer on a stretch of Forest Service Road 10079, commonly known as Dry Creek, near Afton.

Osmond Improvement and Service District is planning to replace 1.25 miles of existing spring-fed water pipeline on the Greys River Ranger District in the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) between June and October.

The construction corridor for the pipeline is 10 feet wide, centered in a 30-foot-wide road corridor. The road is expected to be reduced to one lane intermittently, and flaggers will be present. Delays are expected to be no longer than 20 minutes at a time.

The road will not be closed, but BTNF asks visitors to use caution and reduce speed as the area will be congested with cars, vehicles and heavy equipment. For more information, contact the BTNF Greys River Ranger District at (307) 886-5300.
