WYDOT in cooperation with Sublette County maintenance crews, will temporarily close the approach to Boulder Lake Road (County Road 210) at the intersection of WYO 353 on the morning of Monday, Oct. 5.
The scheduled closure will begin at 9 a.m. and is expected to last until approximately noon. During this three-hour window, crews will be replacing a deteriorated culvert that has begun to compromise the stability of the surrounding roadway and approach.
Maintenance teams scheduled the repair for this fall to take advantage of seasonal low water levels in the local irrigation canal, ensuring a more efficient and safer operations environment.

•No Access: Local motorists will be unable to access the Boulder Lake recreation area or the Boulder Lake estates from WYO 353 while the work is underway.
•Advisory: WYDOT strongly recommends that residents and recreational visitors plan their travel itineraries accordingly to avoid delays during the temporary closure window.

Just a reminder to all counties in western Wyoming, signs are NOT allowed along state highways. What is a "right-of-way" exactly? While it may vary based on location, typically WYDOT's right-of-way is from one highway fence line across the road to the other fence line.

Whether you're supporting a candidate in this year's election or hosting a yard sale, remember to keep all signage within your property line, NOT on state rights-of-way.

FARSON, Wyo. WYDOT and crews from Hardrives Construction, Inc., will begin chip sealing WYO 28, east of Farson, beginning this Monday, Aug. 3. Operations will be underway for several weeks.

Crews will be chip sealing sections of WYO 28 from mile marker .08 to 24.41, east of Farson and mile marker 100 to 128.05, west of Farson. Crews will not be chip sealing through the intersection of US 191 and WYO 28 in Farson. Crews will begin work Monday at the east end of the project and work their way to the west. The work is estimated to take approximately two weeks, with a projected end date of August 15th.

Traffic will be carried through all the work areas at reduced speeds using flaggers and pilot cars. Drivers are advised to obey all traffic control signs and plan accordingly for delays that will occur in the work zones. Delays could last 10 to 20 minutes at a time. WYDOT encourages drivers to slow down, increase their following distance and be aware of road conditions to reduce the possibility of a cracked windshield. Chip seal work is necessary to help prolong the lifespan of a pavement and keep drivers safer.

Drivers who are approaching the work zone from an adjacent connecting road are advised to stop and wait for the pilot car. Once the queue of cars following the pilot car has passed in the direction the driver wishes to travel, the driver is then able to turn out and follow the queue through the work zone.
