The Teton County government meeting on May 19, 2025, provided a significant update on the ongoing construction of the Stilson Transit Center. Heather Overholser, the director of public works, introduced John Danby from Anderson Construction, who is managing the project.

Danby reported that the construction is currently on budget, with the guaranteed maximum price secured and product approvals progressing smoothly. The project officially began on April 21, following a groundbreaking ceremony on April 18. A key focus of the construction is the realignment of Beckley Parkway, which is being coordinated with various stakeholders, including local businesses and the Teton Village Authority.

The realignment aims to improve access for buses and parking areas by changing the current route of Beckley Parkway. Danby emphasized the importance of minimizing disruptions, especially during peak usage times, such as the busy winter ski season. The new Beckley Parkway is expected to open by August 1, 2025, with efforts underway to expedite the construction timeline.

Upcoming phases include the closure of the entrance to Beckley Parkway from Highway 22 for asphalt milling preparation, scheduled for the week of May 27. Paving is planned for June 9 through June 16, which will involve temporary closures and flagging to manage traffic flow.

Danby noted that the project is weather-dependent and that the team is actively communicating with the community through social media to keep residents informed about road and parking area closures. The meeting concluded with an invitation for questions from the commissioners, indicating ongoing engagement with local officials regarding the project’s progress.
