Crews have begun a district pavement patching job in Cheyenne

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - The Wyoming Department of Transportation and Simon Contractors have begun a district pavement-patching job on Wyoming Highway 212/College Drive in Cheyenne.

The first phase of the project has begun on Wyoming Highway 212/College Dr. from mile marker 2.72-3.67, South Greeley Highway to Laramie County Community College. Crews are upgrading ADA at the intersection of College Drive and Avenue C and then will proceed with lowering manholes, milling and paving.  There will be traffic shifts in order to complete work as well as a possible short duration detour for Avenue C, for the removals and concrete cure time.  A 12 foot width restriction will be in place.

Crews will then move to US Highway 30/East Lincolnway between mile markers 368.36 to 371.13, Craigy J to Archer. Work will include milling and paving operations. There will be flagger and pilot car operations during this phase. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place.

The final phase of the district pavement patch job will move to US Highway 287 south of Laramie between mile markers 407.5-409.9. Crews will mill the existing chip seal and place a plant mix wearing course.  Flaggers and a pilot car should be expected during this phase.  Once paving is complete, rumble strips will be ground into the shoulders and centerline of the roadway.  A 12 foot width restriction will be in place.

Motorists should expect lane closures and reduced speed limits. The public are encouraged to obey all posted signs, signals, flaggers and other traffic control and avoid distractions like cell phones while driving through work zones.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of October. All project scheduling is subject to change, including due to inclement weather and material availability.
