A Wyoming Department of Transportation chip sealing crew resumed its summer work Monday, Aug. 14, on 6 miles of Wyo. Highway 290 west of Meeteetse.

Meeteetse chip sealing will take place between mileposts 0 and 6.02 on Wyo. Highway 290.

The crew is scheduled to move the chip sealing operation Aug. 16 to nearly 4 miles of U.S. Highway 310 south of Lovell (mileposts 225.45 to 229.20), Aug. 17 to Wyo. Highway 37 north of Lovell (mileposts 0 to 3), Aug. 21-22 to U.S. Highway 310 (mileposts 235.00 to 236.27) at the east edge of Lovell and at the west edge of Lovell (mileposts 237.42 to 238.28), and Aug. 23-28 on Wyo. Highway 295 (mileposts 0 to 12.17) on both sides of Willwood.

“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.”

All chip sealing is dependent upon favorable weather.

Erickson said the chip seals 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 after operations have ceased for the day,” Erickson said.
