Wagonhound Rest Area to close during construction

RAWLINS, Wyo. - Crews with Avail Valley Construction and the Wyoming Department of Transportation will close Wagonhound Rest Area on Monday, weather permitting.
 
The rest area is along Interstate 80 at mile marker 267.

Crews will be updating ADA, curb and gutter, adjusting manholes and drill shaft bases. Crews will also expand and repave the current parking lot. Plumbing upgrades will take place to the facility.

Access to the Wicks/Beumee Wildlife Habitat Management Area will remain open.

The closure is anticipated to last a couple months.

Work is still progressing on I-80 between mile markers 258.75 to 267.19 in the westbound lanes.  Motorists on the interstate should expect possible delays due to single lane shifts through construction zones and lowered speed limits. Steep grades along the road section may slow interstate traffic even further.

All WYDOT project scheduling is subject to change, including due to adverse weather or material availability.
