Wyoming Department of Transportation maintenance crews will begin paving operations on various roads throughout northeast Wyoming next week.
According to a WYDOT press release, operations will begin in and around the Sundance area on Monday, May 17, weather permitting.
Paving operations in Crook and Weston Counties are expected to be completed by mid-June. Paving operations will then move to Johnson and Sheridan Counties and then to Campbell County.
This particular paving operation is meant to repair existing roadways that may have been damaged due to snow removal, winter frost heaving, excessive ruts, and cracking. The average lifespan of the top few inches of a paved highway is 10 to 15 years and dependant on the type and volume of traffic.
