The $4.93 million concrete rehabilitation project is on schedule in downtown Cody, and work is moving to the other side of the street early next week.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) said Tuesday that work is continuing this week on the north side of Sheridan Avenue from 10th Street to 12th Street. Weather permitting, traffic is scheduled to be placed on the north side of Sheridan Avenue between 10th and 12th streets by Tuesday.

Improvements are scheduled to begin next week on the south side of the 10th Street/Sheridan Avenue intersection.

“Traffic will be moving, one lane in each direction, along the north side of Sheridan Avenue, early in the week,” said WYDOT resident engineer Todd Frost of Cody.

Weekly meetings on the project had been held in the Cody Club Room, but due to concerns about the COVID-19 outbreak, meetings will be moved outside.

“Until further notice, the weekly public meetings will be held outdoors at the 12th Street/Sheridan Avenue intersection, right in front of the Irma Hotel,” Frost said.

The new outdoor meetings will begin at 10 a.m. every Tuesday.

Phase 1 of the project — 10th Street to 14th Street — is required to be complete by June 15. The project will be shut down from June 16 through Aug. 23.

The Sheridan Avenue project includes removing and replacing existing damaged concrete slabs, resealing existing concrete joints, grinding and texturing existing roadway, upgrading Americans with Disabilities requirements at every street corner between 10th Street and Stampede Avenue, replacing broken curb and gutter and sidewalk, and upgrading wiring at traffic signals.

The project begins at U.S. Highway 14/16/20 milepost 51.78 at the intersection of 10th Street and Sheridan Avenue in front of the Park County Courthouse, then proceeds 1.2 miles on U.S. 14/16/20 to the intersection of 17th Street and Stampede Avenue on Greybull Hill.

During work, a maximum of two intersections may be closed at any one time.

“Work is being completed on one side of the street while two-way traffic is carried on the other half,” Frost said. “Left turns are not allowed through the work zone. Parking may not be allowed through the work zone, and a 10-foot width restriction is in effect.”
