Local roads being fog sealed

Posted

Park County road and bridge crews will begin fog sealing some Powell area roads starting today (Monday).

Lane 9 will be up first, followed by lanes 10, 11, 15 and 17 and Road 17.

Once the work in the Powell area is completed — likely around Thursday, Aug. 31 — the project will move to the Cody district. Crews will then fog seal Road 2AB, Road 2BC, Stagecoach Trail, Lane 16, Lane 19, Lane 20, Road 19 and Road 20.

Fog sealing involves applying a diluted asphalt emulsion to the road to protect and preserve the integrity of the pavement.

All the work is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 8.

“As the fog seal is applied, traffic will be reduced to only one lane in the designated work areas,” said Park County Engineer Brian Edwards. “Roads being treated should be limited to local traffic only to the extent possible and practical.”

Motorists who do use the roads while the work is underway should proceed with caution and expect delays, Edwards said.

“On behalf of Park County Public Works Department, we sincerely appreciate the cooperation and patience from the public during these maintenance operations,” he said.
