PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The purpose of this project is to improve access to the Bighorn National Forest and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands through roadway rehabilitation, widening, and minor roadway realignment of Red Grade Road (County Road 26/USFS Route FSR 26). Red Grade Road provides a travel corridor from Wyoming State Highway 335 to US Highway 14. The project will address the substandard roadway typical section, geometrics, and safety issues.

SCOPE OF THE WORK: This total project length is approximately 2.6 miles. The plans include two (2) schedules and one (1) option:

• Schedule A is approximately 1.8-miles (~MP 1.0 to ~MP 2.8) and includes the majority of large cuts and retaining walls.
• Schedule B is approximately 2.6-miles (~MP 1.0 to ~MP 3.6), which includes the limits of schedule A and the remaining 0.8-miles.
• Option X includes the rehabilitation of the Aspen’s Parking Lot at ~MP 2.7.

The proposed roadway will vary from 22-foot wide to 18-foot total. The existing roadway width is 18 feet wide. The project will include minor horizontal and vertical realignments to improve sight distance and roadway geometry, as well as drainage improvements to obtain a design standard for the proposed roadway. The project is considered 3R+ and located in mountainous terrain.
