As is often said, there are four seasons in Wyoming — Winter, late winter, early winter and construction.
And the construction season is well underway across the state, with 43 projects ongoing, according to the Wyoming Department of Transportation.
According to the department’s road condition website many of the projects are taking place on Interstates 25, 80 and 90, although few should result in traffic delays. The delays that do occur will be the result of lane restrictions or reduced speed limits, the department said.
On Interstate 90, the department said some delays will occur in the area of a bridge repair project near Moorcroft and a paving project near Moorcroft.
Delays on Interstate 25 can be expected around a paving project between Kaycee and Casper, a bridge rehabilitation project in Casper and a bridge rehabilitation project north of Cheyenne.
On Interstate 80, delays can be expected near a bridge replacement project east of Cheyenne, a pavement marking project west of Cheyenne, rock work in Telephone Canyon west of Cheyenne, construction of new semitruck parking spaces at the Fort Steele Rest Area east of Sinclair, a paving project at Elk Mountain and bridge rehabilitation work west of Rock Springs.
