Construction Zone

Red Gulch Bridge rehabilitation north of Thermopolis on U.S. Highway 20/Wyoming 789 is underway. The Thermopolis North project is located between mileposts 133.4 (the old National Guard Armory) and 139.5 (Black Mountain Road) on U.S. 20/Wyoming 789. Traffic control during rehabilitation of the bridge, adjacent to the Fountain of Youth Campground, will include one-way traffic movements across the bridge through use of a portable traffic signal. The project includes paving of 6.4 miles of roadway from Thermopolis to Black Mountain Road. Project work on the pavement preservation project includes pavement leveling, a pavement overlay, chip sealing, widening of maintenance pullouts through the project, fence removal and replacement, placement of rock riprap, guardrail removal and replacement, placement of asphalt curbing, and bridge deck rehabilitation and a bridge overlay near the campground. A pilot car is being used to take traffic through the highway project. Travelers should expect delays.
