Work will begin on Interstate 80 bridge on west end of Green River

GREEN RIVER, Wyo. The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) and contract crews from DeBernardi Construction will begin work on the Interstate 80 bridge on the west end of the Green River Tunnels beginning Monday, August 17. Crews will be replacing the bridge deck on the eastbound bridge.

While crews are working on the eastbound structure, drivers will see single lane closure protected by concrete barriers on the eastbound lanes as crews work on half of the bridge at a time. Motorists should expect reduced speeds and narrow lanes while the work is underway.

While the work is underway, the eastbound on ramp at exit 89 on the west end of Green River will be closed to traffic. Drivers can access Interstate 80 on the east end of Green River at exit 91 on and off ramps.

A width restriction of 10 feet will be in effect through the construction zone and on the I-80 business route, Flaming Gorge Way, in Green River. More information about width restrictions, permits and alternates routes, drivers can contact the WYDOT permit office at 307-777-4894.
