US 14-16-20 in Cody to get new pavement

Lovell’s Mountain Construction Co. submitted the low bid of $1.9 million to grind off deteriorating pavement and replace it with three inches of new asphalt on a mile of US 14-16-20 (Sheridan Avenue and Eighth Street) in Cody. The work also will include repairing damaged curbs and gutter, and modifications to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The work between the 10th Street and Conifer Lane intersections is expected to begin in March and be completed by June 15. It will be paid for with revenue from the 10-cent fuel tax increase.
