Culvert replacement work resumes on U.S. Highway 20 south of Worland

WORLAND, Wyo – Replacement of two culverts started last week on U.S. Highway 20 between Thermopolis and Worland.

The culvert replacement project involves a single-lane closure of U.S. 20, with short traffic delays.

"We anticipate replacement of the pipes to be complete by early November," said Wyoming Department of Transportation project engineer Andy Freeman of Basin.

The U.S. 20 construction locations are at milepost 153.37, about 12 miles south of Worland, and milepost 154.88, about 11 miles south of Worland.

Prime contractor is Wilson Brothers Construction, Inc., of Cowley.

Replacement of the two culverts is part of an $833,424 project in northwest Wyoming that includes drainage work, traffic control, surfacing, fencing, asphalt pavement surfacing, seeding, erosion control and other work at various locations.
