SWEETWATER COUNTY – The Sweetwater County Travel & Tourism Board (SWCTTB) is proud to announce that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has designated the Flaming Gorge – Green Basin Scenic Byway as an All-American Road. The SWCTT board, along with several partners around the byway, submitted an application to the FHWA in 2020 and the application was successful.
“This has been a dream, 20-plus years in the making,” said Jenissa Meredith, Executive Director of Sweetwater County Travel and Tourism. “I was fortunate to be involved in preparing this application over a decade ago when Dave Hanks, former CEO of the Rock Springs Chamber of Commerce, included me in the project,” added Meredith. “It is such an honor to see this designation finally become a reality.”

The U.S. Department of Transportation recently approved the Battle Road Scenic Byway as an All-American Road as part of the 2021 designations to America’s Byways through the Federal Highway Administration National Scenic Byways Program.
This designation, which constitutes Route 2A, Massachusetts Avenue, is the first All-American Road in Massachusetts. The designation accounts for evidence of intrinsic qualities, demonstration of national or regional significance, overall visitor’s experience and demonstration of long-term sustainability. With this designation comes recognition of the lasting importance of the events of April 1775 in the Greater Boston region.
