Drivers and nearby businesses in Cheyenne should prepare for a planned road closure next week as the city replaces a manhole at a busy intersection. The work, aimed at shoring up aging sewer lines, will shut traffic through the junction of Dell Range Boulevard and Grandview Avenue, creating delays for commuters and local traffic for several weeks.
Closure details and timeline
The City of Cheyenne’s Board of Public Utilities confirmed the intersection will be fully blocked while crews complete the manhole replacement. Contractors from Mechanical Systems Inc. will carry out the work, which the board says is necessary to improve long-term sewer service reliability.

- What will close: the intersection of Dell Range Boulevard and Grandview Avenue, including the right-turn lane from Dell Range onto Grandview.
- When it starts: work begins next week (the board did not announce a specific date to allow for weather and logistics adjustments).
- Expected duration: roughly six weeks, barring unforeseen complications.
- Contractor: Mechanical Systems Inc.
- Purpose: replace deteriorating infrastructure and reduce the risk of future sewer failures.
Motorists should expect detours and intermittent delays in the area. City officials urged people to plan alternate routes and to use extra caution near the work zone, particularly during peak travel hours. Local businesses along Grandview may see changes in traffic patterns while the closure is in effect.
“BOPU appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as these important upgrades are made,” the utility board said, underscoring the project’s focus on preventing future service interruptions.
For residents, the short-term inconvenience aims to deliver a long-term payoff: fewer emergency repairs and more reliable drainage and sewage service. Those who regularly travel the corridor are advised to check municipal updates for any schedule changes and to allow extra travel time while crews are active.
