Work starts work on WYO 374 near Little America

The Wyoming Department of Transportation will start work on WYO 374 at the Little America interchange near exit 69 off Interstate 80 this week.

The work will consist mainly of concrete repairs, with grading, milling plant mix, placing crushed base and miscellaneous work on about 0.20 miles beginning at road marker 69.77.  

Access to Little America will be maintained at all times, but driver’s can expect to see traffic control devices and potential delays during the work.

The service road will be closed just west of the entrance to County Road 3 (FMC Road). This means there will be no access to County Road 3 (FMC Road) from Little America. County Road 3 (FMC Road) and the mines can be accessed through the Westvaco Interchange at about milepost 72. Advanced signing will be placed at critical points to warn drivers of the closure.

“We hope the closure won’t be too disruptive to the local mine traffic.  Most drivers heading to the mines from both Green River and the Bridger Valley come in off the Westvaco Interchange.  Access to the FMC road from the Westvaco Interchange will continue undisturbed,” said WYDOT Project Engineer Chase Cimburek.

The completion date for this work is Oct. 31, 2017. The contract was awarded to DeBernardi Construction Co. Inc. for $807,000.
