Residents and commuters in the Casper area should prepare for another weekend interruption on Interstate 25. Starting around 7 p.m. Saturday, crews will close the highway to finish installing sewer lines in the current construction zone, with traffic expected to resume by approximately 4 p.m. Sunday.
Lane Reductions and Turn Restrictions
During the closure, Beverly Street will operate with a single lane in each direction. Southbound drivers on I‑25 will not be able to turn left onto Beverly Street, and the same restriction applies to northbound traffic. Flaggers and traffic control personnel will be on site to guide motorists through the reduced‑capacity area.
Detour Options for Northbound and Southbound Travelers
Northbound drivers heading toward Kaycee should exit at the Bryan Stock Trail/Beverly interchange, travel up Bryan Stock to Amoco Road, and re‑enter I‑25 at the Shoshoni Bypass. Southbound travelers bound for Glenrock are advised to exit at the same Bryan Stock Trail/Beverly exit and re‑enter the interstate via the Yellowstone Highway on‑ramp.
Safety Tips for the Construction Zone
While daytime travel through the work area is generally easier to navigate, nighttime driving can be confusing and increase driver anxiety. Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution, obey flagger directions, and stay alert to avoid accidents. The construction crew has emphasized that safety is a top priority and that the temporary inconvenience is necessary to complete the multi‑year sewer upgrade project.
Looking Ahead
There is no announced schedule for the next I‑25 closure, but officials expect additional interruptions as the sewer project progresses over the next few years. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed through local news outlets and the Wyoming Department of Transportation for future updates.
By planning ahead and using the recommended detours, commuters can minimize delays and help keep the construction zone safe for workers and travelers alike.
