Make Beautiful Time To Yellowstone
The Togwotee Trail (pronounced Toe-ga-TEE) is one of the West's most beautiful and diverse regions. Abundant wildlife, geographic wonders and a rich history make it one of the most popular routes to Yellowstone National Park. However, this well-traveled route hasn’t been updated for fifty years, so WYDOT is making highway improvements to US 26-287 that are vital to the well-being of the area and its residents and visitors.

Nineteen miles of the highway reconstruction have been completed, with improvements that include wider shoulders, enchanced sight distance for motorists and wildlife, passing and climbing lanes for safer travel, improved, lanscaped slopes and more. WYDOT is working hard to make your journey safe and enjoyable - we hope to see you on the Trail!

July 2nd Construction Update
Construction is taking place on the Togwotee/Four Mile section of Hwy. 26-287, also known as the Togwotee Trail. This section begins at the Turpin Meadows turn off (near milepost 14.47) and ends to the east of Wind River Lake (milepost 30.84).

The following is an update as of July 2nd

• Nighttime traffic delays. Three-hour delays are in effect from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., Monday through Friday and 10 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays. Traffic will be stopped at Flagstaff Road at the west end of the project and at the top of Togwotee Pass to the east.

• One-way traffic. Construction of the buried bridge (on the east side of the rock cut at milepost 24) will require routing traffic over a one-way detour, located slightly to the south of the existing highway. This detour, which will be monitored with temporary traffic signals and flaggers, is now in effect . This will continue for the majority of the construction season.

• Width restrictions. Width restrictions are in effect. Items being transported that are over 11 feet wide are not permitted to travel through the area where the detour is located.

Updates on construction activities are available via several communication channels:
