Annual public meetings are scheduled in September in Fremont County to address future highway and bridge improvement projects in northwest Wyoming.
The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) process involves annual meetings with public officials and citizens who play key transportation partnership roles in Wyoming, according to Wyoming Department of Transportation District Engineer Pete Hallsten, P.E., of Basin.
“The STIP is a six-year program approved by the Wyoming Transportation Commission. It provides a snapshot of existing and expected projects and their schedules, and it is continually updated,” Hallsten said.
The STIP is a prioritized construction plan for the 1,326 miles of highway in northwest Wyoming, also known as WYDOT District 5.
