Improvements to Shoshone Lake Road underway
LANDER, Wyo. – Construction on the Shoshone Lake Road west of Lander is underway. The maintenance project, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is expected to be complete in early August.
During construction, at least one lane of travel will be open to traffic each hour. Users should plan for delays.
“Our intent with this project is to ensure that trucks and trailers can continue to access the parking area at the top of the face,” said Jared Oakleaf, outdoor recreation planner for the Lander Field Office. “After that, the road will remain a high-clearance 4X4 route.”
The project employs a local contractor to surface and reestablish drainage on this important section of the BLM-managed road and right-of-way through lands managed by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments.
The BLM will provide updates as the project progresses. For more information, please contact the Lander Field Office at 307-332-8400.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
