WYDOT’s 2018 STIP now available for review

The Wyoming Department of Transportation’s road improvement planning document is now available for review and public comment.

WYDOT’s State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) for 2018 is available on its website. In addition, printed copies of the STIP are available at WYDOT offices and city and county government offices. Quarterly updates are available on the WYDOT website. 

The STIP contains a listing of highway and bridge projects, and also airport improvement work WYDOT tentatively expects to contract for during the upcoming fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. The STIP is published annually and updates are issued quarterly.

The public can submit their comments about the 2018 STIP to Tim McDowell, State Programming Engineer for WYDOT. They can submit them by email or by mail to 5300 Bishop Blvd., Cheyenne WY 82009.

Besides 2018 projects, the draft STIP includes a listing of planning transportation projects slated through 2023. It also includes a summary of pass-through federal funding for public transportation throughout the state.

Highway projects are listed by county and note the general character of work for the various transportation system projects. These projects include highway, transit, airports and others.

WYDOT emphasizes that the STIP project listing is tentative and is revised in accordance with changes in funding levels, highway conditions and other issues that may arise during the advance project design phase.
