The Wyoming Department of Transportation and its contractor, RoamMT, LLC, will remove and replace the Works Street bridge beginning the week of October 19, 2026.

This bridge qualified for the Federal Highway Administration Bridge Formula Program (BFP) funds, which WYDOT then allocates to off-system bridges owned by local agencies throughout the state that are in poor or fair condition. The $1.9 million cost of the project is fully covered by these federal funds.

The Works Street bridge was originally built in 1965 and is part of the City of Sheridan’s infrastructure.

Although many bridges in Wyoming fall within municipalities or county government jurisdiction, WYDOT handles the engineering, design, and construction administration with local agencies’ concurrence.

Removal and replacement of the bridge will require contractors to close Works Street between North Sheridan Avenue and S. Waters Street. Traffic will be detoured to Sheridan Avenue via Park Street.

This project is scheduled to be completed by July 31, 2027

Most serious crashes – including fatalities – happen on high-volume roads that are funded through a mix of city, county, state, and federal investments. SS4A allows Sheridan to bring local priorities to future improvements on these shared corridors.

By combining crash data with community feedback, SS4A will identify safety priorities, develop solutions, and pursue funding to make them happen.

What we know:

In August 2026, the City of Sheridan hosted a series of online and in-person events to share crash data and transportation trends. We asked what’s working well and where people feel unsafe or uneasy getting around. These are some themes of what we heard repeatedly from different people in the community:

1) Parks and trails are highly valued, but missing connections and incomplete
loops limit usefulness.

2) Traffic calming is necessary to address speeding, difficult intersections, poor yielding, limited visibility, and conflicts involving vehicles of all types.

3) Downtown and destinations around Sheridan are enjoyable places to visit, but gaps make it difficult to safely reach daily needs, groceries, jobs, etc.

4) Sidewalk network and safe crossings are missing, disconnected, or deteriorated in areas around Sheridan, making it difficult for people of all abilities to get around safely and comfortably.

5) School access can be challenging during busy times, creating need for safer routes and crossings.

6) Trucks and bypass routes are a major concern where heavy freight traffic conflicts with people walking, biking, and accessing destinations downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

Based on crash data and community input, the City is mapping where safety improvements are needed most and the actions that can make Sheridan’s streets safer and more comfortable for everyone.

Coming Spring 2027: We’ll share the priority actions and ask for your feedback.
