Wyoming Wildlife Crossings Expected to Reduce Collisions by up to 90%
Wyoming Department of Transportation launched the Kemmerer South Wildlife Crossings project to install multiple underpasses, an overpass, and fencing along a 30‑mile stretch of US 189. The $38 million effort, funded by federal, state and private partners, aims to cut wildlife‑vehicle crashes by 80‑90%. Construction, begun in September 2025 and slated for completion by October 2027, will be phased and may cause up to 20‑minute travel delays. The corridor, a key migration route for mule deer and pronghorn, currently sees about 80 reported collisions yearly, contributing to $20‑23 million in wildlife losses and $24‑29 million in injury costs.
