RAWLINS, Wyo. — Crews with Reiman Corporation will begin repairs next week on the Higley Boulevard overpass, which was struck by a semitruck on Interstate 80 in July.
Mobilization will begin Monday, Oct. 12, and will require the closure of the westbound and eastbound passing lanes of Interstate 80 between mile markers 213 and 215. Concrete barriers will be installed to close the passing lanes, ensuring a safe work area in the median beneath the overpass.
Repairs will include installing shoring, removing damaged concrete, injecting epoxy to repair cracks, and pouring a new concrete column.
Motorists should expect lane closures and reduced speed limits. Motorists are encouraged to obey all posted signs and signals, follow flaggers’ directions and other traffic control instructions, and avoid distractions such as cellphones while driving through the work zone.
The project is expected to be completed by Dec. 15. All WYDOT scheduling is subject to change due to weather conditions or material availability.

Thank you to everyone who joined the City and WYDOT District 1 - Southeast Wyoming for the Ribbon Cutting & Dedication of the Higley Pedestrian Underpass yesterday evening. We are grateful for the strong turnout and for the opportunity to celebrate the completion of this long-awaited project with so many of the people who helped make it possible.

The evening was also a meaningful opportunity to dedicate the underpass in memory of Patrick Casey McMorrow. We were honored to have Patrick’s mother and siblings with us for the dedication and plaque unveiling.

Thank you to our speakers — Mayor Jacquelin Wells, WYDOT Engineer Diego Fronza, Public Works & Urban Systems Director Cody Dill, and Orrin Adams with Friends of Rawlins Outdoors Group — for helping reflect on the project, the dedication, and the safer connection this underpass provides for our community.

We were pleased to welcome contractors, Urban Systems Committee members, City and WYDOT staff, community partners, and representatives from Rawlins Elementary School. RES broadcast students also stayed after the ceremony to interview Mayor Jacquelin Wells about the new underpass. A special thank you also goes to GEMS for providing the cookies and to Damien Cesko for donating the use of his sound equipment.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in bringing this project from planning to completion, and to all who joined us to honor Patrick’s memory and celebrate a safer connection for Rawlins. Now come use it and enjoy this new connection in our community!
