The PowerPoint presentation from the June 6 public meeting in Star Valley and flyover video simulation of what the roadway will look like after construction is completed are now available to view on the project web page.

Major elements of the SR 260 Lion Springs Improvement Project include:
- Adding one travel lane in each direction along a four-mile stretch of SR 260 (mileposts 256-260).
- Constructing a center left-turn lane between mileposts 256 and 257 and a center median between mileposts 257 and 260.
- Constructing a new frontage road for the Diamond Point subdivision.
- Building three wildlife crossings.
- Improving and/or installing drainage and sediment-control facilities, including culverts, pipes and ditches.
Construction funding for the project is expected to become available in July 2025. Construction is anticipated to start in spring 2026 and take approximately three-in-a-half years to complete, when factoring in anticipated annual winter shutdown periods.
