Thermopolis-meeteetse / WY 120 / legend rock section

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $261,946 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on November 21, 2025, for highway infrastructure improvements on Wyoming Highway 120 in the Thermopolis-Meeteetse Legend Rock Section. The project scope includes pavement preservation activities consisting of one inch of mill and overlay treatment followed by chip seal application, with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2030. This award falls under FHWA's formula grant program, which provides federal-aid highway funding to state transportation departments for eligible highway maintenance and preservation activities.

As Wyoming's primary administrator of federal-aid highway funding, WYDOT utilizes formula grants from the FHWA to deliver concrete transportation infrastructure improvements across the state's highway system. The Legend Rock Section project represents typical FHWA-supported work focused on pavement preservation, a core component of WYDOT's grant portfolio that also encompasses bridge rehabilitation, safety improvements, and multimodal pathway construction. The five-year execution period allows for comprehensive project planning and implementation to extend the service life of this highway corridor.
