Main Street Resurfacing Project Slated to Begin Next Month

The resurfacing and utility upgrade project on Main Street in downtown Sheridan is slated to begin next month. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation Commission in December of 2022, awarded the $17.8 million contract to resurface Sheridan’s Main Street from 1st Street to the Burkitt/Coffeen Avenue intersection to Oftedal Construction, Inc. The award also includes a utility upgrade component valued at $8.4 million which is funded by the City of Sheridan.

A public meeting on the project is scheduled for Tuesday, March 7 at 5 pm at the Hub on Smith. The public is encouraged to attend to hear more about the details of the closure sequence and detours that will be utilized. Phase I will run from Dow Street to Brundage Street.  Phase II, which runs from Brundage Street to Coffeen Avenue will be completed in 2024. This schedule is dependent on weather, materials and unforeseen circumstances and is subject to change. Phase I is scheduled to begin the week of April 3 – weather permitting, and will run through October 31 of this year.
