North Federal project public meeting March 21 in Riverton

Citizens are invited to attend a March 21 public meeting concerning the second year of the $13.96 million North Federal Boulevard highway improvement project in Riverton.

The public meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., Thursday, March 21, at Riverton City Hall.

Project construction is scheduled to begin about March 25, weather permitting.

"This will be a challenging year of construction on North Federal Boulevard," said Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Robert Scheidemantel of Riverton. "This area of Riverton has limited access due to a lack of alleys and side streets. Please plan to attend this public meeting, as communication between landowners, WYDOT and the contractors will be important to maintaining accesses to businesses this spring and summer."

Prime contractor S&S Builders, LLC, of Gillette will be in attendance to discuss the 2019 construction schedule and answer questions. WYDOT and City of Riverton personnel will also be available to share information and answer questions.

The $13.96 million North Federal Boulevard (US26/WY789) project bid was awarded to S&S Builders, LLC, of Gillette in September 2017.

The northern phase of the project is scheduled for 2019; it includes improvements between Burger King and Walgreens on North Federal  Boulevard.
By contract, S&S Builders is required to maintain two-way traffic at all times during construction.

Weekly project progress meetings are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 28, weather permitting, in Riverton City Hall. Each public meeting will include time for public comments and questions.
