Kemmerer wildlife overpass work

Public Notice to Kemmerer area travelers:
Beginning Tuesday, July 7, 2026, drivers on US 189 will see up to 40-minute delays as Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) and contract crews set sections of concrete arch for the wildlife overpass at mile marker 24.5 between Kemmerer and Evanston, Wyoming.

The work will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for an estimated five days, July 7-11. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to their destinations, such as WY 89 to US 30 through the Utah border, or I-80 to US 30 via Granger.

"This can be dangerous work, with a large crane moving massive concrete sections. It’s the type of work that would be difficult to do at night safely, so for the safety of crews and the traveling public, we are doing the work during the day. Unfortunately, that means there will be times of extensive stop delay," WYDOT resident engineer Jennifer Hoffman said.
