The Wyoming Department of Transportation awarded Simon Contractors, of Cheyenne, a $6.5 million pavement resurfacing contract at its meeting in October. The commission awarded that and eight other contracts totaling $28 million.

The pavement preservation work WYDOT will complete is a cost-savings measure that will extend the life of the road. The work also includes minor bridge repairs.
