By Charles Pekow — Two trails are about to be connected near Jackson, WY. Guardian Construction, Inc. of Utah was awarded a $2,722,569 contract by the National Park Service to build a 10-foot-wide asphalt trail. The Trail Pathway Connector Project will bridge a 0.8-mile gap between the trails. Guardian intends to complete the project by October, before the snow falls, says Project Executive Wayne Van Valkenburg.

The trail will begin at the intersection of Sagebrush Drive and Spring Gulch Road in Teton County, connecting the roundabout at Gros Ventre Junction on U.S. Highway 26/89/191 with the Jackson Hole Community Pathways system at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis. This will improve bicycle access to Grand Teton National Park.
