Highway Work Between Ucross and Clearmont

The Wyoming Department of Transportation is working on a summer long project on US Highway 14/16 East between Ucross and Clearmont.

According to a news release from the Wyoming Department of Transportation, the Department and its contractor, Croell, Inc. has resumed paving operations on US 14/16 between Ucross and Clearmont.

Laura Dalles, Wyoming Highway Department Public Relations Director, said that the work consists of replacing a culvert near the Ucross Foundation, and soft spot repair due to collapsing pavement on the road, milling and overlay of the pavement, and re-fencing in the area of the construction.

Contractors will remove the existing subgrade materials and replace them with new material which will stabilize the subgrade of those locations. Once those repairs are complete, the remaining stretch of the project will be milled and new asphalt paving will be placed.

In addition to new pavement, sub-contractors will be installing flexible delineators, upgraded signage, and installing new fence throughout the project limits.

Travelers will encounter daytime flagging operations, one lane traffic at the soft spot repair locations, reduced speed limits, and heavy truck traffic. Traffic will be open to two-way traffic at night with areas of temporary surfacing and reduced speed limits.

The projected completion date of the project is July 29, 2022.
