WYDOT plans future transportation projects

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) is looking for public comments into its highway construction plans for the next six years.

The agency has outlined a six-year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that outlines future projects and funding options for them.

An open house is scheduled Wednesday, June 6 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Snow King Resort in Jackson.

“This is a good opportunity for local residents to share their thoughts about the work that is going on, and the work that is planned in Teton County,” WYDOT Public Relations Specialist Stephanie Harsha said.

The open house will focus on projects and transportation issues in Teton County as well as the rest of the district.

Financing is limited to the availability of state and federal funding. Capital improvements are revised through input from engineering studies, the Transportation Commission, WYDOT officials, and from public comments generated by STIP meetings.
