Work on Red Grade Road Pushed Back 

Sheridan County in cooperation with The Federal Highway Administration’s Central Federal Lands Highway Division and federal land management agencies is improving approximately 2.5 miles of Red Grade Road west of Sheridan. 

During an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Commissioner Nick Siddle said the project includes widening the road, adding pullouts, improving drainage and replacing or upgrading culverts.

Set to begin work in spring of this year, work on Red Grade has been setback after results from biological impact study were returned to the county.

Construction is intended to improve safety, traffic flow and drainage along the heavily used route. Results from traffic studies show traffic use on the road has tripled over the last five years.

During construction, portions of Red Grade Road, several trailheads and connecting trail systems may experience temporary closures or restricted access while work is underway.
