News Release From WYDOT

The Wyoming Department of Transportation advises motorists that the area near Bishop Boulevard and Central Avenue in Cheyenne will experience congestion beginning on Monday, May 6. On that day WYDOT will commence reconstruction of the entrance and front parking lot within their headquarters at 5300 Bishop Boulevard.

A week later, on May 13, one lane on Central Avenue will close to accommodate the project. This will increase congestion for motorists traveling to Wyoming Game and Fish, FE Warren Air Force Base, the Wyoming Army National Guard, Wyoming Division of Forestry, and WYDOT Driver's Services.

The traffic back up in this area will make access to and from Bishop Blvd more difficult. Motorists making these movements during peak hours are advised to plan ahead because wait times may last up to 20 minutes. If practical, alternative routes are advised.

The project is expected to be completed and traffic back to full capacity in mid-June.
