Paving completed on landslide mitigation project on the east side of Togwotee Pass

A $1.94 million project is continuing to fix a US 26/287 landslide near the Shoshone National Forest boundary west of Dubois.

The landslide mitigation work is happening at milepost 40.5, about 13 miles west of Dubois (or 40.5 miles east of Moran Junction).

"Highway speeds are reduced near the work zone as this project continues," said Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Robert Scheidemantel of Riverton.

The prime contractor is Oftedal Construction Inc., of Casper. Contract completion date is Nov. 30, 2019.
