MOOSE, Wyo. (AP) - Motorists traveling on U.S. 26-89-191 and U.S. 26-287 through Grand Teton National Park are being told to expect 20-30 minute delays starting Monday.
Workers plan to scrape off the pavement to prepare the highway for repaving, leaving behind a gravel surface. For four weeks, until the paving work begins, the speed limit will be 35 mph, according to park officials.
The resurfacing work is scheduled for U.S. 26-89-191 from Cunningham Cabin, six miles south of Moran Junction, to the east boundary, two miles east of Moran.
Similar work is planned for Moran Junction west to Jackson Lake Lodge.
Meanwhile, shoulder widening and grade improvements are underway along U.S. 26-287 from Moran to the east boundary.
The road work will take place from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday from July through Labor Day.
