Passing lanes planned for US 20-26 west of Casper

Five passing lanes will be added to US 20-26 between Casper and Waltman under a $3.5 million contract won by Cheyenne’s Knife River. Three of the passing lanes will be for eastbound traffic, and two for westbound. The project will be funded with revenue from the 10-cent fuel tax increase, and the work is scheduled to be complete by Oct. 31, 2016.
