MORAN, Wyo. — According to the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), asphalt pavement overlay and bridge rehabilitation on the Buffalo Fork of the Snake River bridge are the focus of a $5.52 million project west of Togwotee Pass in Teton County.
“Subcontractor Reiman Corp., of Cheyenne, is planning to start with structure rehabilitation on the Buffalo Fork Bridge on May 16,” said WYDOT Engineer Baylor Beers of Riverton. “Motorists should expect a one-lane closure that will be controlled by portable traffic signals and delays of up to 10 minutes.”
The bridge rehabilitation project is expected to continue through the end of August. Avail Valley Construction is scheduled to begin paving the 5.33-mile project in mid-September. Chip sealing is scheduled for June, 2024.
The scope of road and bridge improvements include asphalt pavement surfacing, bridge rehabilitation, milling, chip sealing and other work between mileposts 2.2 (Grand Teton National Park boundary) to milepost 7.53.
The Wyoming Transportation Commission awarded the project to Avail Valley Construction-WY, LLC, on Dec. 15, 2022. The completion date is set for June 30, 2024.
