Manderson-Hyattville paving should wrap up this week

Paving is expected to be complete this week on the WYO 31 highway improvement project between Manderson and Hyattville.

"Citizens should expect 20-minute traffic delays between mileposts 14.5 and 19.5 on WY31, which is 14.5 miles to 19.5 miles from Manderson," said Wyoming Department of Transportation Basin/Worland resident engineer Michael Miller. "Paving is scheduled to be completed this week."

Chip sealing on the project will be completed next summer.

Prime contractor on the $1.8 million project is Mountain Construction of Lovell.

The Manderson-Hyattville project includes concrete extensions, culvert extensions, minor slope flattening, and asphalt milling, an asphalt pavement overlay and chip sealing.

Contract completion date is Oct. 31, 2018.
