US Highway 14/16/20 (Yellowstone to Cody)

Project Abstract

In order to accommodate tourist traffic to Yellowstone National Park and address highway safety issues, WYDOT widened, realigned and resurfaced US 14/16/20. Particular care was taken to avoid impact, or remediate damage, to the project area's natural resources, including wetlands, wildlife habitat and recreational facilities. View the excerpt below from the AASHTO Task Force for Environmental Design's "Design Flexibility Case Study Report" for more information.
