WYDOT Prepares For Flaming Gorge Road Work, traffic detour on I-80

The Wyoming Department of Transportation will be diverting traffic on Interstate 80, closing a section of US 191 and closing exit 99 on April 3 and 4 from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. to continue work on the Flaming Gorge Road Project. Stephanie Harsha with WYDOT says the interruption will be during nighttime hours (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.) to limit traffic disruption.






There will be no access to Interstate 80 from the Foothill Blvd. service road during the closures. Residents will not be able to access Interstate 80 at exit 99. WYDOT recommends all travelers in Rock Springs enter and exit Interstate 80 from exit 102, Dewar Drive, if at all possible.






The Flaming Gorge Road project consists of one bridge replacement and two bridge improvements at the intersection of US 191 South and Interstate 80 near Cruel Jack's. The first bridge off exit 99 that travels over I-80 is the one being replaced.
