On Sept. 11, in Kemmerer, the Wyoming Department of Transportation and Wyoming Game and Fish Department hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Kemmerer South Wildlife Crossing Project along U.S. Highway 189. According to the Game and Fish, this $33.1 million project will add seven underpasses, one overpass, and wildlife-friendly fencing along a 30-mile stretch of highway. Wyoming has become a national leader in wildlife crossings. Game and Fish Director Angi Bruce said the Kemmerer South project builds on that track record. Bruce said the work on the project is extremely intentional, stating these crossings have been carefully designed and engineered by Game and Fish experts to maximize safety for wildlife and humans.
