Work near Walmart in Cody expected to impact traffic flows next week

Trenching and installation of new wiring conduit for the current traffic signal at the US 14/16/20 intersection on Cody's West Strip at Walmart will impact traffic flows next week.

Trenching and other work is scheduled to take place Tuesday through Thursday, according to Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Todd Frost of Cody.

All work is dependent upon favorable weather.

"Traffic signal upgrades required new conduit to be installed, because at some point, the existing conduit was damaged," Frost said. "Once the new conduit is installed, current and future wiring upgrades to the traffic signal at the Walmart traffic signal will be possible."

During the work, traffic will moved to one-half of the highway, with one lane flowing in each direction on U.S. 14/16/20.

"We apologize for the inconvenience," Frost said. "Delays should be minimal."
