Pavement removal, bridge work ongoing between Lovell and Cowley

Traffic will be running on a crushed gravel driving surface until this fall with this week's milling of asphalt pavement on US 310/WYO 789 between Lovell and Cowley in northwest Wyoming.

Bridge pile driving is scheduled to begin this week at the Shoshone River bridge when weather permits, according to Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Michael Miller of Basin.

"Work is continuing on the railroad bridge," Miller added.

The $11.7 million Sage Creek highway and bridge improvement project consists of road widening, bridge widening over the Shoshone River, replacement of the Sage Creek and railroad bridges, asphalt paving, and other work.

Miller said work is continuing throughout the Big Horn County project, and drivers should expect traffic delays and reduced speed limits.

The prime contractor is S&S Builders LLC, of Gillette. Contract completion date is June 30, 2019.
