Cody Concrete Pours Down 17th Street April 1st & 2nd Written by Andrew-Rossi on April 1, 2021
After two delays, it’s time for the Sheridan Avenue rehabilitation project to slow down and go downhill – so you’ll want to plan your Cody drive accordingly.
Starting Thursday, April 1, fifty trucks and 500 cubic yards of concrete will be poured down 17
th Street towards Alger Avenue.
When the pour commences, one-way traffic with flaggers will be utilized around the work zone. Drivers can anticipate delays all day Thursday and at least part of Friday, depending on progress.
WYDOT Public Relations Specialist Cody Beers recommends Cody’s drivers seek alternate routes – Heart Mountain Street and South Fork Avenue – during the concrete placement. Avoiding the hill will reduce your waiting time and lessen traffic in the work zone.
Staff and contract personnel gathered Wednesday to prepare for the 7:30 a.m. opening.
Eligible members of the public can be vaccinated from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. through Friday, but still by appointment only.
After that, the cityâs ability to administer the COVID-19 vaccine is expected to be entirely dependent on the distribution of the vaccine.
Rollout only expected to quicken
Cody Pearce, the cityâs epidemiologist, told the Board of Health at Tuesdayâs meeting that the clinic has administered 3,224 doses.
âThatâs a pretty big number weâre proud of,â he said.
One of the benefits of moving the operation to Festival Hall is the space, which allows patients to move from the vaccination station to a large observation area where patients must wait 15-30 minutes to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

WYDOT reports another cascade of rocks has fallen into the Wind River Canyon. This is a common occurrence in the canyon, especially during the spring.
As the winter snow melts in the Wind River Mountains, the ground becomes wet and slick. This often sends rocks of varying sizes into the canyon below.
At 4 a.m. Tuesday morning, several small rocks and a boulder the size of a pickup truck fell into the canyon. There were no injuries or accidents associated with the fall.

Tuesday morning on KODI’s “Speak Your Piece with Darian Dudrick,” Beers said there will be only one lane of traffic - controlled by flaggers - on…
