PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Sagebrush Pathway Connector Project is located in Teton County, WY near Jackson, WY, adjacent to the intersection of Sagebrush Drive and Spring Gulch Road in Teton County. This project will provide a pedestrian connection between the Roundabout at Gros Ventre Junction on US Hwy 26/89/191 with the Jackson Hole Community Pathways system at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis. The project includes the development of a 0.8-mile, 10-foot wide pathway designed for pedestrian use. The project also includes four box culverts placed within irrigation ditches with riprap armoring, and the creation of a small parallel parking pullout sufficient for approximately five vehicles alongside Sagebrush Drive.

The construction timeline is divided into two distinct phases to accommodate environmental and operational considerations. The initial phase is anticipated to be completed in fall of 2024, aligning with the seasonal cessation of irrigation activities, facilitating the installation of the four box culverts. This timing is crucial to avoid disruption to local water management practices. The subsequent phase is anticipated to begin in late June 2025, extending through the fall, and focusing on the completion of the pathway, parking facilities, and all associated site amenities. The National Park Service may consider an alternative schedule but the project must be completed in 2025 and environmental mitigations must be met. The current structured schedule ensures minimal impact on the local ecosystem and community, while maximizing efficiency and effectiveness in project execution.

- The surrounding area is adjacent to US Hwy 26/89/191 and the Jackson Hole, WY airport which has an average daily traffic of roughly 14,500 vehicles.
- The construction site is approximately 15 miles from the nearest lodging facilities and approximately 25 miles from the nearest suppliers. During the summer, anticipate traffic to and from suppliers through the town of Jackson, WY.
- All equipment and materials entering Grand Teton National Park must be inspected for invasive weeds by NPS staff.
- The roadways adjacent to the work will remain open during construction, thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize impacts to the traveling public. Given the proximity of the site to adjacent community housing, night work will not be permitted.
- The site requires protective measures to ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed and wildlife are minimally impacted.
- The anticipated period of performance of 365 calendar days including a winter weather shutdown of approximately 160 calendar days during which no site work should be anticipated. Irrigation ditches are typically without water by early October. In 2025 work cannot begin prior to June 3, 2025 due to environmental mitigations.
