Testing of seven new digital message signs/web cameras is nearly complete in northwest Wyoming, and the signs are nearly online.
The prime contractor on the $1.4 million project is Advanced Electric, LLC, of Casper.
The new digital message signs/web cameras are located at:
• U.S. Highway 14/16/20 (milepost 48.39), about 2 miles west of Cody;
• U.S. Highway 26/287 (milepost 8.1), about 8 miles east of Moran Junction near the Blackrock Ranger Station (not yet operational);
• U.S. Highway 16/20 (milepost 202.87), about 2 miles south of Greybull;
• U.S. Highway 16 (milepost 3.45), about 3 1/2 miles east of Worland;
• U.S. Highway 20 (milepost 164.17), about 1 mile south of Worland;
• U.S. Highway 20 (milepost 127.86), about 5 1/2 miles south of Thermopolis near Wind River Canyon;
• U.S. Highway 20 (milepost 101.18), about 1 mile north of Shoshoni.
Installation of a U.S. 20 relay tower is also part of the communications project, about 4 miles south of Thermopolis.
“Work started last August, and installation and activation of the message boards was delayed due to COVID-19,” said Kaia Tharp, Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer in Thermopolis. “The 30-day test of the message boards is nearly complete, and when testing is complete, the new digital message signs will be online. Web camera images are available at wyoroad.info.”
