The Wyoming Department of Transportation and contract crews from Ralph L. Wadsworth will be erecting girders on the US 191 bridge over I-80 this Monday and through Thursday, August 15th. Stephanie Harsha says that Daytime work will not impact I-80 traffic. However, beginning Tuesday night, crews will be diverting traffic off Interstate 80, closing a section of US 191 and closing exit 99 from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Traffic will be diverted using the on and off ramps at exit 99. The interruption will be during nighttime hours (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.) to limit traffic disruption. Traffic approaching from East and West will be moved onto the on and off ramps at exit 99. Speeds will be reduced to 30 miles per hour for traffic routed on to the ramps. Reduced speeds and delays are expected, but traffic will not be stopped on Interstate 80.
During the nighttime closures, WYDOT crews and contract crews will be working on the girders on the new bridge over the interstate. 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 during the nighttime closures.
WYDOT recommends all travelers in Rock Springs enter and exit Interstate 80 from exit 102, Dewar Drive, if at all possible. Traffic on US 191 South will be routed through the Sunset Drive Service Road. Travelers coming from the south on US 191 will be detoured into Rock Springs on Sunset Drive and onto the interstate from exit 102, Dewar Drive.
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.
