Concrete barrier/traffic signals installed on US 14 retaining wall project in Shell Canyon

A $1.8 million project to replace timber retaining walls with mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls is continuing on U.S. 14 through Shell Canyon.

"Concrete barrier and traffic signal systems have been installed for one-way traffic operations in Shell Canyon at mileposts 23.13 and 24.73," according to Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Michael Miller of Basin. "Motorists should expect two-minute traffic delays at each wall location. A 12-foot width restriction is in place on this project."

Prime contractor is Wilson Brothers Construction of Cowley.

The U.S. 14 wall construction locations are at mileposts 23.13 and 24.73, between 23 and 25 miles east of Greybull.

Contract completion date is Oct. 31, 2018.
