WY Transportation Commission Awards Contracts For 2022 Construction Season

As the white stuff starts to disappear from Wyoming Highways, the orange stuff will soon appear in its place in some areas.

Recently the Wyoming Transportation Commission awarded nearly $31 million in contracts for 11 WYDOT construction projects.

Cheyenne-based Simon Contractors was awarded a nearly $5.4 million bid for a project involving milling, paving, placing a wearing course and other work on approximately 8.5 miles of both northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 25 in Johnson County. 

The project has a contracted completion date of June 2023.

Reiman Corp., based out of Cheyenne, was awarded a $3.6 million bid for a project involving bridge rehabilitation, paving, grading, guardrail and other work in various locations within Converse, Johnson, Natrona and Platte Counties. 

The contracted completion date is July 2023.

S&L Industrial was awarded a $431,800 bid for striping work in various locations within Albany, Carbon, Crook, Laramie, Sheridan and Weston Counties. 

The contracted completion date is September 2022.

The Commission awarded a $207,955 bid from Traffic Safety Services, Inc. out of Bismarck, North Dakota, for a striping project in various locations within Campbell, Crook, Sheridan and Weston Counties. 

The contracted completion date is October 2022.

All of those projects are funded primarily using Federal dollars.

One project that will be funded primarily using state dollars was a $729,000-plus bid for a project involving structure repair, grading and other work at the I-90 bridge over the U.S. Highway 16 Interchange near Buffalo in Johnson County. 

That bridge was damaged back in July when a high profile vehicle struck the bridge’s girder, which is a primary support system of the bridge. 

The contracted completion date is October 2022.
