摘要: The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A), is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for a project located at Hoback Junction in Teton County, Wyoming, south of the Town of Jackson (see Figure 1-1). This EA is being prepared to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. Hoback Junction is a small community located at the confluence of the Snake and Hoback Rivers and at the intersection of three U.S. Highways: U.S. Highway 26/89/189/191, U.S. Highway 26/89, and U.S. Highway 189/191. Located in a valley in a fairly mountainous area, Hoback Junction largely consists of privately owned residential and commercial land surrounded mostly by public land managed by the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF). The study area extends 0.6 mile along U.S. Highway 26/89, between MP 141.4 and 140.7, and includes the three-way intersection and the Snake River Bridge immediately southwest of the Hoback Junction community (see Figure 1-2). The three highway sections that meet at Hoback Junction are critical travel links within the region. Commuters from Pinedale and Bondurant (via U.S. Highway 189/191) and Alpine (via U.S. Highway 26/89) use these Figure 1·1 Regional Setting segments of roadway to commute to and from Jackson. Also, the highway is heavily used by commercial vehicles, as well as tourism traffic. Traffic volumes increase considerably during the summer months and also increase to a lesser degree during winter months due to recreationally oriented tourism. The existing highways are comprised of two 12-foot lanes, with variable shoulder widths.
