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.

PRINCIPAL WORK ITEMS: The major items of work include the following:

• Removal of bridge (LPSM)
• Cofferdams (LPSM)
• Structural Concrete, Class A (AE) – 150 (CUYD)
• Reinforcing Steel – 21,700 (LB)
• Reinforcing Steel, Epoxy Coated – 13,000 (LB)
• Prefabricated steel bridge (100’x 29’ Modular Steel Vehicular Bridge) (LPSM)
• Bridge Railing, Steel (WYDOT TL-3) – 290 (LNFT)
• Drilled Shaft, 30-inch diameter – 250 (LNFT)
• Construction and maintenance of diversion (LPSM)

ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE: It is anticipated this project will be advertised in early 2023 and be under construction in August 2023.  The project has an estimated completion date of January 18, 2024.

No in-water work can occur between May 15th and July 31st to avoid the Yellowstone cutthroat trout spawning and no in-water work between September 15th through November 30th to avoid brown trout spawning.

ESTIMATED COST RANGE:  The estimated price range of the project work is between: $2,000,000 and $5,000,000

FUNDING SOURCE:  The project is funded through the FLAP program which includes a portion of the project being funded through match from Fremont County.
