Ranchester to sheridan - rehabilitation / realignment project

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) a Formula Grant totaling $7.37 million on June 24, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This funding supports the Ranchester to Sheridan Rehabilitation/Realignment Project, which encompasses pavement rehabilitation, structure replacement, roadside safety improvements, and slide repairs along the transportation corridor. As a Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program, this award represents apportioned federal-aid highway funds distributed to Wyoming based on statutory formulas, with WYDOT responsible for project administration, design, environmental compliance, and construction oversight in accordance with federal requirements.

The project deliverables include comprehensive highway infrastructure improvements addressing both structural integrity and safety concerns through pavement work, bridge or structure replacement, hazard mitigation measures, and geological stabilization efforts. WYDOT, as the state transportation department administering this federally assisted program, will manage all aspects of project delivery, including environmental reviews pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, design and construction oversight, and compliance with applicable federal regulations under 23 CFR and 2 CFR 200. This investment reflects the FHWA's commitment to preserving and improving Wyoming's highway infrastructure while enhancing roadside safety and addressing geotechnical challenges along this critical transportation corridor.
