Update on US 26/89 Broadway paving work

Wyoming Department of Transportation and contract crews from Evans Construction have begun paving the milled sections of US 26/89 through the Town of Jackson this week. In an effort to complete the paving operations in seven work days, crews will be working from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the weekdays. This will impact commuter hours for roughly a week, barring any adverse weather or unforeseen events. While the work is underway, WYDOT and the contractor will make every effort to maintain two-way traffic and access to businesses within the 5-lane sections to help reduce delays and congestion.

The work will take place on the asphalt sections of the highway from High School Road to the 5-way intersection with Flat Creek Drive and Pearl Ave near Wendy's, as well as a small section on Wyoming State Highway 22 near the Y intersection of US 26/89 and WYO 22.

The work has been scheduled at this time to avoid peak summer traffic while still meeting WYDOT's specifications for paving temperatures. The completion date for the work is Oct. 11.

Drivers are advised to be alert and aware in construction areas, be mindful of roadside workers, and expect reduced speeds and possible delays.
