Temporary closure of Dry Creek Road for bridge replacement

The Bridger-Teton National Forest will temporarily close the Dry Creek Road (Forest Service Road 10079) at mile 2 on September 4 through 7 for bridge replacement.

In 2015, a bridge inspection concluded the 4th and 5th bridges on the Dry Creek Road had decayed, and the Regional Bridge Engineer declared them unsafe for full-size motor vehicle traffic.

During the inspection, significant rot and decay were discovered in the timber decks, prompting a closure.

The Greys River Ranger District in partnership with Lincoln County will replace these bridges which were constructed in 1953 .
