The City of Laramie -facebook page says this is Harney Street (northern Laramie). ---- Daniel Date: 04/22/17 19:15 Re: New bridge over the Overland Route Author: symph1 The old viaduct for Snowy Range Road is felling apart. They are building a new one a couple blocks north. This is on the north side of town, running east-west between 3rd street (where Harney Road current ends) over the tracks to West Laramie. An extension will swing south and meet up with Snowy Range Road (Wyo 130 and 230) near the Laramie River.

MRL has a man on the ground talking all traffic past the worksite when work is bring done. They did the northbound lane bridge last year. It's pretty impressive work; especially taking down the old steel I beams from the original bridges.

A Form B is in effect during working hours. Makes for nice train watching. Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Date: 11/26/17 14:51 Re: New bridge over the Overland Route Author: symph1 I thought you might be interested in the progress that's been made.
