Crews will begin work on Wyoming State Highway 414 between Mountain View and Lonetree, from mile marker 110 to 120. The work should last 3-4 days.

WYO 240 Kemmerer area
Crews will then move to Wyoming State Highway 240 near Opal from mile marker 0 to 12. The work is estimated to begin on June 14, and will last 3-4 days.

WYO 372 County line area
Following the work on WYO 414 and WYO 240, crews be chip sealing on Wyoming State Highway 372 near the intersection with WYO 28, the Farson Cutoff Road, to the intersection with US 189, from mile marker 26 to 48.

Traffic will be carried through all the work areas at reduced speeds using flagger and pilot cars.   Drivers are advised to obey all traffic control signs and plan accordingly for delays that will occur through the work zones.  Delays could last 10 to 20 minutes at a time. WYDOT encourages drivers to slow down, increase their following distance and be aware of road conditions in order to reduce the possibility of a cracked windshield. Chip seal work is necessary to help prolong the lifespan of a pavement and keep drivers safer.

WYDOT would like to remind drivers to remember to be cautious of roadside workers and obey all roadside signs, traffic control devices and closures. Unpredictable weather and other variables may necessitate last-minute changes to the plans. WYDOT remains committed to updating the public with timely information.
