Nightly Road Closures On I25 Start Next Week In Casper

The progress on the I-25 project in Casper is moving along nicely, but it's still not finished. In fact, there will be a closure next week that will affect you as they close up this part of the project.

This statement is from the WYDOT District 2 Facebook page:

Interstate 25 will close near downtown Casper for up to five nights beginning Monday, Nov. 3, through Friday, Nov. 7. The closure is between the Shoshoni Bypass and Bryan Stock Trail. The closures will run from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night.
These closures will allow for the completion of work related to the interstate bridge reconstruction project.

Southbound traffic will detour at the Shoshoni Bypass (exit 189) and use Events Drive/Amoco Road to Bryan Stock Trail. Traffic will reenter I-25 from the Yellowstone Highway on-ramp.

Northbound traffic will exit at Bryan Stock Trail (exit 186) and be detoured onto Amoco Road/Events Drive before returning to the interstate at the Shoshoni Bypass interchange. Access to North Poplar Street will be from the Bypass.

Even though crews will be wrapping up the construction in from Poplar to Center, there are still projects in the future from McKinley to Beverly St, with the project due to be finished in 2027.
