Webbwood Road reopens to traffic Friday morning in Riverton

Webbwood Road, east of North Federal Boulevard in Riverton, reopens to traffic this morning.

Webbwood Road has been closed to allow for storm sewer installation between North Federal Boulevard and Pure Gas Road, according to Robert Scheidemantel, Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer in Riverton.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but this work was necessary to keep the second year of North Federal Boulevard improvements on schedule," Scheidemantel said.

The Webbwood Road storm sewer improvements are part of the two-year, $13.96 million project to improve North Federal Boulevard (US 26/WY789) through Riverton.

And speaking of year two of the North Federal Boulevard improvements, that work is expected to begin in about six weeks (late March to early April), depending on favorable weather. This year's work is scheduled to start at the north end of the project near Burger King, and it will work its way south to Sunset Drive.

A public meeting is tentatively planned for March prior to the restart of 2019 highway improvements. Stay tuned for more information.

Contract completion is Oct. 31, 2019.
