The Wyoming Transportation Commission allocated $21.49 million in contracts for eight highway construction projects across the state during its regular business meeting on March 20, 2025. The awards, granted to various contractors, will fund improvements ranging from concrete slab replacements to bridge rehabilitation and road resurfacing, with completion dates spanning from June to November 2025.
Among the federally funded projects, Acme Concrete Paving Inc., based in Washington, secured a $3.59 million contract to replace concrete slabs on a 3.5-mile stretch of Interstate 80 between Granger and Green River in Sweetwater County. The work includes milling, crack sealing, paving, and traffic control, with a completion deadline of October 31, 2025. Gillette-based S & S Builders LLC won a $3.25 million bid for bridge rehabilitation across Big Horn, Fremont, and Park Counties, with tasks like asphalt paving and guardrail installation set to wrap up by November 30, 2025.
