Chip sealing operations are scheduled to begin Friday, Aug. 3, on the $1.96 million WYO 32 highway improvement project between Lovell and Emblem.

"Twenty-minute delays are expected during chip sealing operations," according to Michael Miller, Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer in Basin. 

The WYO 32 project is located between mileposts 100 (Foster Gulch) and 112.72 (WYO 32's intersection with WYO 295). The chip sealing will occur between mileposts 100 and 105.

"When complete, this rural highway will have new fence, bridge rehabilitation on the Foster Gulch, Sand Creek and Coon Creek bridges and an asphalt pavement mill, overlay and chip seal," Miller said.
