The Fourth of July holiday weekend may be coming up, but road construction knows no holidays — so be prepared for delays and stopped traffic across the state during your weekend travels.
The Wyoming Department of Transportation’s road condition website shows that dozens of construction projects with the potential to slow and stop traffic are still underway around the state.
On Interstate 80, delays are expected east of Cheyenne thanks to a bridge rehabilitation project, and between Cheyenne and Laramie because of pavement marking projects. Construction projects will reduce travel to one lane west of Laramie, while delays are also expected near Elk Mountain.
On Interstate 25, delays are expected south of Cheyenne because of a bridge rehabilitation project. Similar work will also delay traffic south of Douglas and near Casper. Paving on the interstate near Kaycee could also result in 20-minute delays, the department said.
On Interstate 90, bridge repairs east of Moorcroft could lead to travel delays.
A number of projects are also underway on state and federal highways. Work causing delays in travel can be expected in the following areas:
Wyoming Highway 296 northwest of Cody, expect delays;
Wyoming Highway 120 north of Cody, delays of up to 20 minutes;
