Road Construction Season is Here, What Laramie Residents Need to Know
For some, warmer temperatures mean summer is on the way; for others, the change in temperature signals construction season has arrived. The City of Laramie has upcoming construction projects plus additional resources to help residents with planning and navigation around Laramie.
A Construction Projects Map, displaying projects the City has planned this summer, is available for residents to view at https://www.cityoflaramie.org/2023Construction. This interactive map shows residents information about what projects entail, their scheduled completion dates, the project manager, and contact information. The map will be updated as projects are developed and proceed throughout the summer and residents should refer to this map for information regarding City projects. At this time, most projects are scheduled to be completed this Fall.
While several large projects are taking place in and around Laramie, not all projects have major impacts, if any at all, on the public. The 3rd Street Utility Rehabilitation is one high-level impact project as it affects a major corridor in and out of Laramie. Residents can view the Construction Status Map to see which sections of 3rd Street are currently closed or planned to be closed through the summer.
Other projects to be on the lookout for that will have impacts on our travel routes include the C Line Replacement Phase 2, West Laramie Storm Water Outfall, and the rehabilitation project on Beaufort Street. These projects and others that can be found on the Construction Projects Map at https://www.cityoflaramie.org/2023Construction.
“We have a lot of projects going on throughout the community and we appreciate the patience of Laramie residents as we work through the projects throughout summer. It’s important to pay attention to closures and construction work going on around town for safety,” says Jaap.
