Drivers in Cheyenne should plan for traffic slowdowns on Dell Range Boulevard after the city’s utility board began a two-week sewer upgrade at a busy intersection. The work, which replaces worn manholes and supports a broader sewer renewal program, will temporarily reduce traffic capacity at Dell Range and Grandview.
The project is being carried out by the City of Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities and is focused on manhole replacement where crews say the underground pipes have reached the end of their useful life.

Motorists will face lane closures in both directions over the coming days. The city has provided a short timeline for which lanes will be shut and when to expect delays.
| Direction | Closed lane | Closure dates |
|---|---|---|
| Northwestbound | Outer lane | April 20 — May 4 |
| Southeastbound | Outer lane | April 27 — May 4 |
Mechanical Systems Inc. is the contractor on the job. City officials say the closures are temporary but necessary to complete the replacements safely.
- Expect alternating lanes and slower speeds near the Dell Range/Grandview intersection.
- Follow posted detours and flaggers; consider alternate routes during peak commute hours.
- Allow extra travel time for appointments, deliveries, and school runs in the area.
While the work targets a specific stretch of roadway, it reflects a larger effort to extend the life of Cheyenne’s sewer network and reduce future failures. For residents near the site, the immediate consequence is traffic disruption; for the city, the payoff is reduced risk of service interruptions down the line.
Officials encourage drivers to stay alert, obey temporary traffic controls, and plan ahead while crews complete the repairs through early May.
