WYDOT will begin work on milling and paving in Snake River Canyon Monday

HOBACK JUNCTION, Wyo. The Wyoming Department of Transportation and contract crews from H-K Contractors will be milling and paving sections of US 89 in the Snake River Canyon beginning the morning of Monday, Sept. 28^th.

Work will take place at various locations from mile marker 120 to 139 on US 89 near Hoback Junction. Traffic control will be in place Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. During that time, traffic will be carried through the work area 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 roadside workers.

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.

The work is scheduled to last roughly three weeks but will be subject to change and weather dependent. WYDOT is committed to providing the public with updated information as work progresses.
