Part of I-80 driving lane closed in Cheyenne for bridge repairs

The driving (right) lane of Interstate 80 westbound in Cheyenne has closed as of today, Monday, June 25, for repairs to two bridge decks.

Both the Walterscheid Boulevard bridge and the Central Avenue/I-180 bridge are in need of repairs to the bridge decks, including a hole that developed in the Walterscheid bridge.

As a result, a section of the driving lane of I-80 westbound will be closed, likely until July 1, weather permitting.

A width restriction will be in effect. Loads wider than 15 feet will not be permitted through the work area but can detour through Exit 362.

Drivers should use caution in the area.
