Public Notice – RR 254 & TWP 230 Geotechnical Investigation

Between February, 20-24,2026, (weather permitting), Wheatland County will have contractors conducting geotechnical investigations along RR 254 (north of HWY 901) and TWP 230 (west of HWY 817).  Traffic will be reduced to single lane along these roadways. 

Please follow all posted signage to allow for safe completion of the work.  Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Due to high seasonal traffic volumes and substandard condition of the roadway, Wheatland County has a project underway as per the approved Capital 5 Year Road Construction Program for the reconstruction of this section of RR 254 and TWP 230.  As part of preliminary engineering, the geotechnical investigation 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.  The only foreseen disruption to residents in the area are the single lane road closures.   

As design progresses on this project, affected landowners will be reached out to by County representatives to discuss any potential impacts to their properties.

Schedule for this project is as follows:

• Preliminary Design: 2026
• Detailed Design: 2027
• Construction: 2028
