Pavement rehabilitation project scheduled on WYO 120 south of Cody

A Worland contractor is scheduled to begin an 11-mile pavement rehabilitation project south of Cody on July 6.

Prime contractor on the $3.6 million project is McGarvin-Moberly Construction Co., of Worland. The project begins at milepost 62.98 on WYO 120, about 18 miles south of Cody, and extends 11.2 miles toward Cody.

Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Todd Frost of Cody said the work includes an inch of asphalt pavement leveling, a two-inch asphalt overlay, a chip seal finish, and minor slope flattening along the shoulder of the highway between Cody and Meeteetse.

Contract completion date is June 30, 2018.

"The contractor is scheduled to begin work on July 6 with the slope flattening work, and this work will continue into mid-August," said Frost. "Work will be shut down between Aug. 19 and Aug. 23 for the solar eclipse."

Frost said McGarvin-Moberly will begin paving operations in September. "Paving should be completed by approximately Oct. 15," Frost said.

Chip sealing is scheduled in June 2018.

"Traffic will be controlled by flaggers and a pilot car during this work," Frost said. "Motorists should expect single-lane traffic and delays of up to 20 minutes while the contractor is working."
