Road Work Underway On US Highway 16 In Big Horn Mountains West Of Buffalo

The Wyoming Department of Transportation Commission awarded the Worland, Wyoming company McGarvin Moberly a $4.5 million contract to mill and overlay a stretch of US 16 west of Buffalo.

Located between mile marker 63.35 (Hazelton Road) and mile marker 68.96 (WYDOT Pole Creek camp), this 5.63-mile project includes milling the surface and replacing it with new plant mix.  

In addition to the paving, new guardrail and delineators are being installed.

During the next few months, motorists will encounter reduced speed limits with traffic control and flagging operations and one way traffic led by a pilot car during the day.

Normal traffic will resume at night with motorists traveling on milled/uneven surfaces with loose gravel throughout the work zone.

Work is scheduled to be completed by October 31, 2023.
