Road work to begin April 22 on I-80 in Rawlins

RAWLINS, Wyo. – The Wyoming Department of Transportation will begin a project to repair concrete slabs and rehabilitate bridges on Interstate 80 in Rawlins.

The specific project area is from MM 210 to 216 and will improve the interstate surface. Crews will begin work on Monday, April 22. The project is expected to last until the end of October.

During construction, I-80 will be reduced to one lane in each direction in Rawlins. Drivers should use caution in the work area and obey posted speed limits. Lane closures will change during the summer as crews switch from one lane to the other.

Reiman Corp. is the contractor for the $4.6 million project.
