PROJECT NUMBER: WY FLAP CR CN10-277(1)
PROJECT NAME: WIGGINS CREEK BRIDGE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project is in Fremont County, Wyoming along the East Fork Road, approximately 6 miles north of the intersection with U.S Highway 26. The nearest town is Dubois Wyoming located approximately 15 miles west of the project location. The terrain is mountainous with an elevation of approximately 6700 feet. This project is for bridge replacement.
SCOPE OF THE WORK: The project includes removal of a one-lane bridge. A one lane diversion will be required before the removal of the existing bridge can begin as the roadway must remain open throughout the project. The creek is a sensitive resource area for the Yellowstone cutthroat trout and Brown trout. The construction season that is currently anticipated is that most work will be performed in late summer and through the winter to minimize the impact to the fisheries. There will be some level of public scrutiny as there are three private properties that are adjacent to the bridge.
