Night work scheduled for Snake River Bridge

Jackson, Wyo. The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) and contract crews from Ames will be conducting night work on Thursday, Oct. 24 from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. to set signs on the mast arms for the new signal at the intersection of Wyoming State Highway 22 and Wyoming State Highway 390, weather permitting. The work will include lane closures and live flagging, so crews can occupy the intersection with a man lift to do the work.

Crews will be working at night, so drivers are asking to pay attention and drive cautiously through the project area.

What to Expect:

• Potential lane closures and possible delays: Temporary traffic shifts and possible lane closures will occur to accommodate the installation of the signs on the signal mast arms.
• Safety First: Obey all flaggers and avoid distractions.
• Construction Timeline:
  • WYO 390 and WYO 22: Crews will be working on the installation of wildlife fence and seeding activities along the highways, as well as preparing the site for winter operations. This work will not impact traffic.
  • Snake River Bridge: The current phase 1 bridge will remain as is, and crews are working on the foundations for the next phase of bridge construction. This work will have minimal impact to traffic, but drivers may see brief delays while crews remove sheet pile on the coffer dams next week.

Unforeseen circumstances may necessitate adjustments to the schedule. WYDOT remains committed to keeping the public informed and prioritizes the safety of all travelers and construction crews. Please reduce speed while traveling through the construction zone and pay close attention to adjusted traffic patterns, signage, and flaggers' instructions.
