Evanston WY Police Department

Uinta County drivers: WYDOT and contract crews will begin work on two bridges over the Bear River, on WYO 89 six miles north of Evanston. Beginning Thursday, June 4, traffic will be reduced to one alternating lane through the work zone, controlled by a temporary signal. The single lane traffic control will extend between both bridges, due to the proximity of both sites.

Crews will be working on removing and replacing the bridge decks on the bridge at mile marker 7.99 over the Bear River and the bridge at mile marker 8.12 over the Bear River overflow. Drivers should anticipate stop delays of up to 15 minutes through the project area. The work will be active throughout the rest of the summer.
