Infrastructure upgrades are set to begin in Cheyenne this week, as the city moves forward with two key public utility projects aimed at improving long-term water and sewer reliability.
Starting the week of March 23, the City’s Board of Public Utilities (BOPU) will initiate construction on a water main rehabilitation project and a sewer system upgrade, both of which will impact traffic across key corridors.
The first project involves a water main rehabilitation effort along E. 20th Street, between Logan Avenue and E. 21st Street. The work will require a full road closure through mid-April.
During construction hours—typically between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturday work—parking within the right-of-way in the work zone will not be permitted.
The project is part of a broader initiative to modernize aging infrastructure and improve system reliability across the city. Officials noted that while planned water shutoffs will be coordinated with residents, there may still be instances of unexpected service interruptions due to emergency needs.
A second project will focus on replacing a manhole at the intersection of Dell Range Boulevard and Grandview Avenue, one of the city’s busier traffic points.
Construction will result in a full closure of the intersection, including the right-turn lane from Dell Range onto Grandview, for approximately six weeks.
The upgrade is designed to enhance sewer system performance and reduce the risk of service disruptions, particularly in high-demand areas.
