Wyoming Highway 22 (WYO 22), also known as the Teton Pass Highway, is a Script error: No such module "convert". state highway in Teton County, Wyoming, United States. It connects Idaho State Highway 33 (SH-33) at the Idaho-Wyoming state line with U.S. Routes 26 / U.S. Route 89 / U.S. Route 189 / U.S. Route 191 (US 26 / US 89 / US 189 / US 191) in Jackson.
Route description
WYO 22 begins at the west end of SH-33 on the Idaho-Wyoming state line in the Caribou–Targhee National Forest. (SH-33 heads west toward Victor, Ashton, and Idaho Falls.) From its western terminus, WYO 22 proceeds southeast for Script error: No such module "convert". along the north bank of Trail Creek as it climbs over Script error: No such module "convert". to the Teton Pass, which has an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level.[1] At Teton Pass, WYO 22 leaves the Caribou–Targhee National Forest and enters the Bridger–Teton National Forest.[2]
East of the Teton Pass, WYO 22 runs along the border of the census-designated place (CDP) Wilson as it begins its nearly Script error: No such module "convert". descent to Jackson on a winding easterly course. Approximately Script error: No such module "convert". farther east, WYO 22 enters Wilson and then, roughly Script error: No such module "convert". later, leaves the Bridger–Teton National Forest. About Script error: No such module "convert". farther east, after crossing Fish Creek, WYO 22 begins running along the border of Wilson and the CDP of Moose Wilson Road.
Shortly thereafter, at about Script error: No such module "convert". along its route, WYO 22 connects with the southern end of Wyoming Highway 390 (WYO 390 / Moose-Wilson Road) at a T intersection. (WYO 390 heads north through Moose Wilson Road and then on toward Teton Village and Moose.) Quickly thereafter, WYO 22 leaves both Wilson and Wilson Moose Road as it crosses the Snake River.[2]
East of the Snake River, WYO 22 continues a winding east-southeasterly course for just under Script error: No such module "convert". to enter Jackson and promptly reach its eastern terminus at US 26 / US 89 / US 189 / US 191 (West Broadway) at a T intersection. (US 26 / US 89 / US 189 / US 191 heads north through Jackson and on toward Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. It heads south toward Hoback Junction and Pinedale.)[2]
History
WYO 22 used to connect to former Alternate US 20, which began at U.S. Highway 20 in Sugar City, Idaho, following SH-33 until the state line, then connected with WYO 22. Alternate US 20 used to end at the state line, where it was redesignated as WYO 22, as Wyoming did not extend the route into the state. If that route had been extended, it would have taken over the entire route of WYO 22, to then overlap US 26 until it reached U.S. Highway 20 in Shoshoni.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
On June 8, 2024, WYO 22 suffered a “catastrophic” failure when a portion of the road collapsed in a landslide at milepost 12.8 (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".), less than Script error: No such module "convert". by air from the Idaho border.[3] A Script error: No such module "convert". detour, constructed by a contractor of the Wyoming Department of Transportation, was opened to traffic on June 28, 2024.[4] The detour has a sharper curvature and a grade of 11.2 percent (the original road built in the 1960s had a 10 percent grade), with a reduced speed limit of Script error: No such module "convert"., but the former Script error: No such module "convert". gross vehicle weight restriction remains.
