WYDOT open house addresses highway relocation

Posted 5/9/23

KEMMERER — The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) held a public meeting Wednesday, April 26, at the South Lincoln Events Center to discuss relocating a 2.4-mile segment of U.S. Highway 30. The portion of the highway up for discussion is west of Kemmerer, between marker 49 and 52. This realignment is being proposed to accommodate the Kemmerer Coal Mine expansion on the south side of the highway.

The project’s background was presented with updates and changes since a public meeting held five years ago. Moving the highway farther north would accommodate future expansion of the mine identified as the Wedge or North Block Development Area.
