Road Closures for Upgrades

The Wyoming Department of Transportation is advising motorists that both rest areas at Bitter Creek, milepost 143 on Interstate 80 are closed for upgrades.
The eastbound rest area was closed on December 30, 2010 due to electrical problems, so the upgrade works on that building are already underway. The westbound rest area is scheduled to be closed on March 10, when the upgrade work on that building will begin.
The upgrade project includes electrical, mechanical and plumbing work inside the rest area buildings and sidewalk, lighting and utility work outside the rest area buildings.
The Bitter Creek Rest Area Upgrade project contract cost is $1,720,000 and was awarded to A. Pleasant Construction of Green River. The project completion date is June 30, 2011 however, the contractor plans to have both rest areas opened to the traveling public before the Memorial Day weekend.
