Chip sealing has been delayed to mid-August on the $2.3 million pavement improvement project west of Meeteetse on Wyo. Highway 290.
“The contractor is still doing cleanup and other work which requires pilot vehicles and flaggers to enhance the safety of the traveling public,” Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Todd Frost of Cody said Aug. 6. “The contractor and WYDOT are working together to minimize traffic delays, and we appreciate everyone’s patience.”
The project begins at milepost 6.06 — about 6 miles west of Meeteetse — and continues 5.2 miles to the end of the state-maintained section of WY290.
The scope of work on the West Wood River project includes milling of the existing pavement surfacing, placement of 1 inch of pavement leveling, placement of 2 inches of pavement, and a chip-seal finish. The existing guardrail is being replaced or adjusted as needed. Mail box turnouts are being constructed as needed, and slopes are being flattened as needed.
The prime contractor on the Meeteetse-Pitchfork project is McGarvin-Moberly Construction Co., of Worland. Contract completion date is Oct. 31.
