Highway Project North of Thermopolis

Motorists traveling through Thermopolis can expect traffic delays as a highway project has begun to construct a left-turn lane and mailbox turnouts north of Thermopolis on U.S. 20/Wyoming 789.
When complete, WYDOT officials say the project is expected to improve highway safety through the busy rural area in Hot Springs County.
The project involves just over a half mile of Highways 20 and 789 about five miles north of Thermopolis. Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Kaia Tharp says drivers should expect minimal traffic delays and reduced speed limits during project working hours. She urges drivers to slow down and watch out for workers as this project is being built through a long curve in the highway.
