Road Closure and Access
Buena Vista Drive remains closed from the south entrance to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to Sage Street. Contractors are coordinating access with affected residents.

Construction will continue through the fall, with roadway closures shifting as work progresses. Buena Vista Drive will reopen during the winter construction shutdown. Motorists are encouraged to use South 2nd Street and Wyoming Street as the primary alternate route, allow extra travel time, and obey all traffic control signs and flaggers.
The project will be completed in phases during the 2026 and 2027 construction seasons. The City appreciates the community’s patience and will continue to provide updates as work progresses.
