Northwest Wyoming chip sealing scheduled to begin June 12 near Lovell

Posted

A Wyoming Department of Transportation chip sealing crew is scheduled to begin its summer work on Wyo. Highway 37 northeast of Lovell beginning June 12, according to a department press release.

About 3 miles of chip sealing are scheduled on Wyo. Highway 37 (mileposts 0-3) on Monday, June 12.

The crew’s three-week Big Horn Basin summer schedule has the chip sealing operation working on June 13 on U.S. Highway 310 southeast of Lovell (mileposts 225.45 to 229.20, and mileposts 229.20 to 230.00); June 14-15 on U.S. Highway 310 south of Lovell (mileposts 235.00 to 236.27) and on the north edge of Lovell (mileposts 237.42 to 238.28); June 19-21 on WY114 (mileposts 29.47 (Garland) to milepost 40.62); June 22 and June 26-28 on Wyo. Highway 295 (Willwood) from mileposts 0 (junction with Wyo. Highway 32) to 12.17; and July 10-13 on Wyo. Highway 290 beginning at the west of Meeteetse (mileposts 0 to 6.02).

All chip sealing is dependent upon favorable weather.

“Please drive carefully and obey reduced speed limits near chip sealing operations,” said WYDOT chip sealing foreman Tyd Erickson of Meeteetse. “Crews will be working during the days and into the nights, and safe driving and safe work operations are very important throughout these projects. Please be patient as this important work is being completed. Chip sealing is one of the most cost effective ways of extending the life of our highways in Wyoming.”

Erickson said the chip sealing work will be swept at the end of each day, but some loose rock may still be present. Drivers are asked to slow down in these areas in order to prevent windshield damage.
