Work to begin on I-80 westbound between Central Avenue and Archer

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Early work has started on a project to repair concrete at the Interstate 80 Port of Entry and also repave I-80 between the Central Avenue and Archer interchanges.

Beginning Monday, April 16, a lane closure will be in effect on I-80 near the port of entry, and a temporary off ramp will allow access for traffic that needs to visit the facility. The lane closure will continue into May.

In July, crews will begin milling and paving the interstate and will move from east to west. Work is scheduled to be complete by the fall.

Lane closures will be in effect while work takes place and drivers should be mindful and use caution in work zones.

This project complements similar work performed in the eastbound lanes in 2017.
Simon Contractors of Cheyenne is the prime contractor for the project.
