WYDOT schedules Oct. 24 open house for 3rd Street project

LARAMIE, Wyo. – The Wyoming Department of Transportation will hold a public open house later this month to show plans for construction on 3rd Street in Laramie in 2021.

The open house is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 24, at three separate times from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Laramie Depot on 1st and Kearney streets in Downtown Laramie.

The 3rd Street project will run from Boswell Drive on the south end to Curtis Street on the north end. It will consist of resurfacing the street, making intersections ADA-compliant, adding “bulbouts” at certain intersections, and other pedestrian and aesthetic improvements.

WYDOT will have design plans available for the entire segment, including details of each intersection.

WYDOT engineers will be on-hand to answer any questions about the project, as will representatives of the Laramie Main Street Alliance.

Comments will also be accepted for this project as well as for other WYDOT-related issues.

Written comments can also be emailed or mailed to WYDOT, Attn: Matt Murphy, 3411 S. 3rd St., Laramie, WY 82070.
