A $5.6 million pavement improvement project has started on Wyo. Highway 294 (Badger Basin Road) near Ralston. The project includes rotomilling of existing pavement surfacing, a 2-inch asphalt pavement overlay, chip sealing, minor slope flattening, guardrail replacement and other work on 9.84 miles of Wyo. Highway 294, according to a Wyoming Department of Transportation release.
Project work begins at the intersection of U.S. Highway 14A and Wyo. Highway 294, south of Ralston, and extends 9.84 miles northwest to milepost 9.84 on Wyo. Highway 294. Prime contractor is Mountain Construction Co., of Lovell. All work, with the exception of chip sealing, is required to be completed by Oct. 31. Chip sealing is scheduled in June 2024.
“The contractor started work on pipes today, and all work is weather permitting,” said WYDOT resident engineer Todd Frost of Cody. “Motorists will see reduced construction speed limits of 45 mph and shoulder work at isolated locations throughout the project for pipe work.”
Frost said guardrail replacement near the Wyo. Highway 294/U.S. Highway 14A intersection this spring will require a one-lane roadway, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, during work with a reduced speed limit of 20 mph, and a 12-foot width restriction.
“Traffic will be controlled during working hours with flaggers, and after hours, with a temporary traffic signal,” Frost said. “Delays for this work will be about 10 minutes for the guardrail replacement area.”
Motorists should expect a paved surface and short delays during the guardrail and pipe work. Frost said pipe work and guardrail replacement are scheduled for completion by April 15.
Delays are expected on U.S. Highway 14A during guardrail work at the Wyo. Highway 294/U.S. Highway 14A intersection. Shoulder flattening, asphalt pavement milling and paving are tentatively scheduled to begin Aug. 1.
“During shoulder flattening, paving and chip sealing, motorists should expect delays of up to 20 minutes,” Frost said. “Traffic will be controlled with a pilot vehicle during this work.”
