JACKSON, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) announced that construction crews will begin paving the new deck on the Snake River Bridge on WY22 on Tuesday, April 15.
WYDOT said in the announcement that in order for a loader and concrete truck to access the area, crews will hold traffic at 10 a.m. for approximately 5 to 10 minutes on Tuesday. Traffic could potentially see slower speeds following the closure. WYDOT encourages travelers to avoid the construction area during that time if possible, or to expect delays around the morning hours and plan accordingly.
According to WYDOT, crews are “continuing to work hard in order to hit the last major milestone in the project” — pouring the other half of the new bridge deck — by the end of June. Crews will also be adding an epoxy overlay to the bridge, which will likely push the completion date into July.
Unpredictable weather and other variables could necessitate last-minute changes to the plans. More information about the Snake River Bridge project can be seen here.
