Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) has announced that Moose-Wilson Road will reopen to vehicles on Friday, June 19, after a segment between Moose and the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve was closed for construction.
Construction Updates
Park visitors will be able to travel the full length of the road between the Granite Canyon Entrance Station and Moose. However, drivers should be aware that intermittent delays of up to 45 minutes or more are possible through Labor Day due to construction vehicles in the vicinity.
The park is working on realigning Moose-Wilson Road to meet a new Teton Park Roundabout, which will move the park entrance to allow traffic to transition seamlessly to the Teton Park Road without passing through another entrance station. The new roundabout will be located just north of the Moose Entrance Station at the current intersection of Menor’s Ferry Road and Teton Park Road.
GTNP reminds visitors that work is still being done to develop a new Death Canyon Trailhead, and that construction will continue at Death Canyon Road. Both the trailhead and the road will remain closed to vehicles for the season. Drivers should also remember that parts of the road will be unpaved gravel while construction is ongoing and reduce speed, be prepared to stop, and follow instructions from flaggers.
Construction projects continue in other parts of the park, including Taggart Lake Trail and Trailhead, Cottonwood Creek Picnic Area, Mormon Row, and the North Park Road (between Leeks Marina and Lizard Creek Campground). Visitors can check the park’s dedicated road construction website for updates.
Park officials encourage visitors to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use available trip-planning resources to help navigate construction impacts throughout the park.
