Emergency Operations Command Center Continues to Address Infrastructure Challenges

In a recent update from the Emergency Operations Command Center, officials reported ongoing efforts to address critical infrastructure issues that have arisen since Saturday morning. Rich and his team have been meeting regularly to implement processes and procedures aimed at managing the situation effectively.

During a board of county commissioners meeting, it was revealed that a temporary repair is now estimated to take weeks, a significant improvement over earlier worst-case scenarios that suggested a longer timeline. This news has been welcomed by local officials and community members alike, providing a sense of relief amid ongoing challenges.

District engineer John Evans confirmed that crews from Evans Construction are already mobilizing to begin work on the necessary repairs. While it remains unclear if they will operate around the clock, there is optimism from the Wyoming Department of Transportation (YDOT) regarding the progress of a temporary solution.

Town council members have expressed their commitment to keeping the community informed and are available for updates as the situation develops. The collaborative efforts between local agencies and construction teams are seen as a positive step forward in addressing the pressing infrastructure needs.
