WILSON, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), along with contract crews from Ames Construction, will be painting stripes on the road this week to accompany the new traffic configuration at the intersection of WY22 and WY390. Striping operations will take place on Wednesday, April 10 and Thursday, April 11, weather permitting.
According to WYDOT, the work will not involve any lane closures. However, the striping work will be a mobile operation, and will be under flagging operations on the WY390 leg of the intersection. WYDOT will monitor the queues of motorists, and will manually flag operations at the intersection to prevent extensive delays.
The new traffic configuration now includes a bypass for eastbound WY22 traffic. Eastbound motorists will bypass the signal, and travel over the wildlife bridge on the west side of the Snake River Bridge. Drivers will yield and merge into traffic turning off of WY390.
WYDOT advises travelers to move slowly through the construction zone, and follow all speed limits, directional signs and flagging instructions.
Unpredictable weather and other variables may necessitate last-minute changes to the plans. Information about the current work going on at the WY22/WY390 intersection can be seen here.
