The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) contract crews are scheduled to begin chip sealing Wyoming State Highway 28, east of Farson, today.
According to WYDOT, operations will be underway for several weeks.
The work is part of a district-wide road chip-sealing project involving chip-sealing operations in Sublette and Sweetwater counties.
Crews will chip-seal sections of WYO 28 from mile marker 0.08 to 24.41, east of Farson, and mile marker 100 to 128.05, west of Farson.
