WILSON, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), along with contract crews from Ames Construction, will be installing the signal mast arms for the new traffic signal at the intersection of WYO 22 and WYO 390 this Thursday evening, March 21, weather permitting. In addition, traffic lanes will shift to one lane while traveling across the wildlife bridge on the west side of the Snake River, this Friday, March 22.
The mast arm installation will take place from 11 p.m. Thursday evening, through 4 a.m. Friday morning. Traffic will be carried under a single lane closure with alternating traffic controlled by flaggers.
On Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., crews will move barriers and mark the roadway with tabs to direct traffic until striping crews can paint new traffic lines. Onsite flaggers and construction crews will guide drivers through the new lane configuration. The old travel lanes will be blocked and signed. Drivers are warned to expect delays and follow all traffic control devices and flaggers.
The new configuration will take drivers through the intersection of WYO 22 and WYO 390 onto the new pavement and over the new wildlife crossing bridge, and then onto the Snake River bridge in an “S” curve. This is part of phase two of the new construction alignment.
WYDOT would like to remind drivers to remember to obey all roadside signs, traffic control devices and closures.
This construction work is part of the Snake River Bridge and Intersection project, which was awarded in November of 2022. The work includes the replacement of the Snake River Bridge on WYO 22, the reconstruction of the intersection of WYO 22 and WYO 390 and wildlife crossings. The completion date for this project is June 30, 2025.
