Due to high traffic volumes and hazardous conditions of the existing roadway, Wheatland County has a project underway as per the approved Capital 5 Year Road Construction Program for the reconstruction and paving of RR 243 from HWY 1 to TWP 232.
As part of preliminary engineering, a geotechnical investigation is required which involves drilling small boreholes into the road to determine the soil types and conditions that are in the existing roadway. This information will allow our consultants to determine the type of road structure they need to design to.
Between February 23-26, 2026 (weather permitting), Wheatland County will have contractors conducting geotechnical investigations along RR 243, south of HWY 1 to TWP 232. Traffic will be reduced to single lane along these roadways. Please follow all posted signage to allow for safe completion of the work.
As design progresses on this project, affected landowners will be reached out to by County representatives to discuss any potential impacts to their properties.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
