Pavement preservation work on WYO 24 to be paid for with fuel tax increase revenue

Worland’s McGarvin-Moberly Construction won a $2.3 million contract to grind off deteriorating pavement and replace it with a new layer of pavement on 9.5 miles of WYO 24 from about 5 miles south of Hulett to about 3 miles north of town. The work will be paid for with 10-cent-fuel-tax revenue, and will include repairs to the bridge over the Belle Fourche River, and improvements to sidewalks to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The contract completion date is Oct. 31, and it includes requirements that traffic be restored to normal during the Hulett Rodeo, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Bike MS: Wyoming’s Bighorn Country Classic.
