Horse Creek Road (WYO 211) project to begin, detours will be in effect

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – A project to replace two timber structures and resurface eight miles of Horse Creek Road (WYO 211) will begin next week, and drivers should expect detours along the route.

The structures – one, a bridge, and the other, a stockpass – will be replaced over the next two months, while the resurfacing portion of the project will happen in early summer 2019.

Each of the two structures will have an associated detour. The bridge will be replaced with a pipe culvert, and the stockpass will be backfilled.

At the bridge, at MM 9.26, a temporary detour around the bridge will be constructed. Traffic will be allowed through the detour in one direction at a time through the use of a temporary traffic signal. Delays of up to two minutes are possible.

The stockpass is at MM 16.43 and will be removed and reconstructed to be a typical roadway section. Traffic will be detoured onto Laramie County Road 110, Mountain Shadow Drive, and Laramie County Road 109 to reconnect back to Horse Creek Road.

Work on the structure replacements will continue through mid-October, after which traffic will be returned to a normal configuration.

Resurfacing of Horse Creek Road from MM 8-16 is scheduled for June 2019.
