Ski-Area-Slide.jpgAn $831,000 project to repair a landslide is scheduled to begin after the July 4 holiday, about 33 miles east of Greybull in the Big Horn Mountains.

The Ski Area Slide Repair project "consists of repairing a landslide with a deep patch," according to Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Michael Miller of Basin. "About 800 feet of roadway will be disturbed during construction."

Traffic movements will be restricted to one lane during the slide repair, and portable traffic signals will be used to control traffic movements. Traffic delays of up to five minutes are expected during the project.

Prime contractor for the project is Wilson Brothers Construction of Cowley. The Wyoming Transportation Commission awarded the slide repair bid to Wilson Brothers on May 18. Contract completion date for this project is Aug. 31.
