Wyoming Department of Transportation’s Snake River Bridge Replacement and Intersection project helped build stronger communities – supporting jobs, enhancing public safety, and preserving the character that defines Wyoming. The $62.27 million project modernized a critical piece of infrastructure in Teton County. Built in 1960, the twolane Snake River Bridge between Jackson and Wilson had exceeded its service life, was fracturecritical, and no longer met capacity or structural needs. Because the nearby intersection of Wyoming highways 22 and 390 also required improvements, WYDOT combined the bridge and intersection into a single project. As a rural state, Wyoming relies heavily on federal transportation funding so, given the size and complexity of this project, neither state funds nor contributions from Teton County alone would have been sufficient to fund this project. Federal transportation investment made it possible for WYDOT to design and construct the Snake River Bridge and Intersection project. Located in a heavily used recreational area, the project balances transportation needs with community priorities by improving mobility and reducing congestion while maintaining access to trails and recreation areas and enhancing safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and wildlife.
