Airport Construction

Local airport users should be aware that during trips to and from the airport on WYO 370, the Airport Road, they will encounter reduced speeds, flaggers and pilot cars while highway improvements are made to the highway and the Rock Springs Municipal Airport’s access road.
The project includes widening the existing highway, milling the surfacing off, culvert replacements, bridge rehabilitation work and paving.
In the upcoming weeks, the contractor will continue rotomilling the existing pavement and performing grading work throughout the project. While this work is underway traffic will be directed by flaggers and pilot cars. Speed limits will be reduced in areas where workers and equipment are on the roadway. Traffic through the project should expect delays and allow extra time to get to the airport.
The Rock Springs Airport is advising people flying out of the airport to plan to arrive at the airport at least an hour and a half early in order to get through the construction zone and still allow for the time required to check in and clear through the security area, and not miss their flight. WYDOT and the contractor are diligently trying to minimize delays that traffic encounters. During hours when construction activities are taking place, traffic going to the airport will be given priority.
