Paving begins between Manderson and Hyattville, and south of Lovell; fencing project moves near Basin

Asphalt paving has started on a pair of Big Horn County-area projects, while a right-of-way fencing project has moved to the Basin area, according to Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Michael Miller of Basin.

Manderson-Hyattville (WYO 31) paving project

McGarvin-Moberly Construction Co., of Worland started paving this week on WY31 between Manderson and Hyattville. The paving is located between mileposts 19 and 22 on WYO 31.

"Motorists should expect 20-minute delays while the paving operation is under way," Miller said.

The $1.3 million project includes shoulder flattening, pipe extensions and an asphalt pavement level and overlay. Project completion date is Oct. 31, 2019.

Lovell South (US 310) paving project

Mountain Construction Co., of Lovell is scheduled to begin asphalt paving operations this week south of Lovell on US 310.

"The work is between mileposts 230 and 235 directly south of Lovell," Miller said. "Motorists should expect 20 minutes delays when paving operations are active. Please slow down in the work zone and give the workers a brake."

The $1.6 million highway rehabilitation project includes widening mailbox turnouts, asphalt pavement milling, and a pavement overlay.

Contract completion date is Oct. 31, 2019.

Right-of-way fencing project moves to Basin area

A northwest Wyoming fencing project moved to Basin's Golf Course Road (Wyoming 36) this week, and the work near Basin will occur for about two weeks.

More than 72 miles of right-of-way fencing will be replaced as part of the $1.6 million project.

"The work will take place in 10 different locations throughout the Big Horn Basin," said Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Michael Miller of Basin. 

Other sections of new right-of-way fencing to be built include: U.S. 14/16/20 (mileposts 100.75 to 99.7), north of Greybull; U.S. 310, (mileposts 249 to 257), from Deaver to the Montana state line; Wyoming 120 (mileposts 109 to 111), north of Cody; U.S. 14/16/20 (mileposts 35.83 to 40.65), between Cody and the East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park; Wyoming 120 (mileposts 80.2 to 81.20), from U.S. 14/16/20 intersection toward Meeteetse; Wyoming 120 (mileposts 56.5 to 65), Meeteetse Rim between Cody and Meeteetse; Wyoming 290 (mileposts 6.04 to 8.30), west of Meeteetse; and Wyoming 170 (mileposts 6 to 9.74), west of Thermopolis.

"The contractor plans to work in this order," Miller said.
