Chief Joseph Slide improvements scheduled to resume next week northwest of Cody

A $5.54 million project to repair the Chief Joseph Slide is scheduled to resume work next week on WYO 296 near Cody.

Oftedal Construction Inc., of Casper, is the prime contractor.

The Chief Joseph Slide is located about 20 miles east of WYO 120, northwest of Cody.

"All work will need to be completed by June 30, 2019," said Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Todd Frost of Cody. "Remaining work includes paving, chip sealing, reclamation, trail and trailhead construction, and fence work. Delays should be minor during this work."
