Striping work scheduled this week for Snake River Bridge

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), along with contract crews from Ames Construction, will be striping this week to accompany the new traffic configuration at the intersection of Wyoming State Highway 22 and Wyoming State Highway 390.  Striping operations will take place this Wednesday and Thursday, weather permitting.

The work will not involve any lane closures. However, the striping work will be a mobile operation, and will be under flagging operations on the WYO 390 leg of the intersection. WYDOT will be monitoring queues of motorists that may be delayed by the striping truck and will manually flag operations at the intersection to prevent extensive delays for traffic at the intersection. 

WYDOT would like to advise drivers of the new traffic configuration, which includes the bypass for eastbound WYO 22 traffic.  WYDOT would also like to remind drivers that eastbound WYO 22 motorists will bypass the signal and travel over the wildlife bridge on the west side of the Snake River Bridge, where  they will be required to yield to traffic on WYO 22 that just turned off WYO 390 and merge accordingly. 

WYDOT will continue to review traffic behavior, and modify traffic control signage and placement help motorists navigate the construction area.  WYDOT’s first priority is safety of motorists and construction crew members. Please travel slowly through the construction zone and follow all speed limits, directional signs, and flagging instructions.

Unpredictable weather and other variables may necessitate last-minute changes to the plans. WYDOT remains committed to updating the public with timely information.
