JACKSON, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), along with contract crews from Ames Construction, Inc., has scheduled pothole repair work on the Snake River Bridge on Wyoming State Highway 22 for Friday evening, March 15, weather permitting.
The patching work will take place overnight from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., and will require lane closures. Flaggers will be on-site to direct alternating traffic through the remaining operational lane. Drivers should expect delays.
According to WYDOT, recent freeze-thaw cycles have resulted in numerous potholes, necessitating ongoing maintenance to keep the bridge functional and safe for travel until construction of the replacement bridged is completed.
“Our first priority is safety of drivers and construction crew members,” WYDOT said in the announcement. “Nighttime work inherently carries more risks for both drivers and construction crews.”
WYDOT asks travelers to drive 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.
