Testing of 7 new digital message signs/web cameras is nearly complete in northwest Wyoming, and the signs are nearly online.
Prime contractor on the $1.4 million project is Advanced Electric, LLC, of Casper.
The new digital message signs/web cameras are located at:
— U.S. 14/16/20 (milepost 48.39), about 2 miles west of Cody;
— U.S. 26/287 (milepost 8.1), about 8 miles east of Moran Junction near the Blackrock Ranger Station (not yet operational);

— U.S. 20 (milepost 127.86), about 5 1/2 miles south of Thermopolis near Wind River Canyon;
— U.S. 20 (milepost 101.18), about 1 mile north of Shoshoni.
Installation of a U.S. 20 relay tower is also part of the communications project (milepost 128.99), about 4 miles south of Thermopolis.
“Work started last August, and installation and activation of the message boards was delayed due to COVID-19,” said Kaia Tharp, Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer in Thermopolis. “The 30-day test of the message boards is nearly complete, and when testing is complete, the new digital message signs will be online.
