As the summer construction season winds down in Cheyenne, crews are working against the clock to complete several key infrastructure projects before the onset of winter weather. City officials say most roadwork remains on schedule, easing concerns about lingering disruptions into 2026.

“They will be completed by this year, we do not expect to have any carryover which is always nice to hear,” officials confirmed.

Cheyenne residents have seen a number of improvements taking shape across the city. One of the major projects underway is the extensive work along Warren Avenue, which has been progressing steadily through the summer.

“The Warren one, they have started milling operations today, which is always a good sign when the milling happens. That means all the underground work, all the ADA upgrades, all of the other work they have been doing all summer is coming to a close,” a project manager explained.

Another high-profile project is taking place along College Drive, a critical corridor for commuters. While the work has temporarily affected traffic in both directions, officials say the project is now advancing more quickly.

“They are in their second phase of that, which usually the second phase goes quicker than the first phase. So, they are just doing some concrete slab replacements, kind of upgrading everything, and that one also does have a fall completion date,” officials added.

Despite the encouraging progress on city streets, one project just outside Cheyenne may not wrap up before the snow begins to fall. Work along Interstate 80, roughly 10 miles east of the city, could extend into next year depending on weather conditions and construction progress.

The completion of these projects will deliver smoother roads, better ADA accessibility, and upgraded infrastructure for residents and travelers alike. With fall fast approaching, the city and contractors are prioritizing efficiency to ensure the community can benefit from these improvements without facing another year of extended delays.

Local leaders emphasized that finishing projects on schedule not only reduces costs but also strengthens public trust in the city’s ability to manage critical infrastructure. For commuters, the wrap-up of construction season means the promise of safer, more reliable travel routes in and around Cheyenne.
