The City of Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities (BOPU) anticipates construction activities to begin work, the week of September 14, 2026, on a water main replacement project including a closure of the westbound lane of E 19^th St. from Rayor Ave. through Albany Ave.

Construction on this project, and road closures are expected for approximately six (6) weeks, depending on weather and material availability. Upon completion of E 19^th St. from Rayor Ave. to Albany Ave., Aztec Construction will begin work from Albany Ave. to Converse Ave. This portion of work is expected to last into November.

The BOPU will work diligently to keep homes and businesses accessible, however vehicles should not be parked in the Right-of-Way within the work zone between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and Saturdays on occasion. This area will be clearly marked.   Direct access to driveways may not be possible for short periods of time during construction.  In these cases, the BOPU asks residents to park safely in areas away from the work zone. 

Water shut offs will be coordinated, but unfortunately unplanned emergency shut offs may occur.

This project will advance water service reliability for the area and is part of the BOPU’s initiative to accelerate the renewal of water infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life. Work will be completed by Aztec Construction Company. The BOPU thanks residents for their patience as we upgrade the water system.  

On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, BOPU will be replacing a manhole at the intersection of Hoy Rd. and McCue Dr.

To complete this project safely, Hoy Rd. will be closed between Prairie Ave. and Powderhouse Rd.

McCue Dr. will also be closed between Prairie Ave. and Hoy Rd.

The project is expected to take approximately 7–10 days to complete.

On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, BOPU will be repairing three water valves.

These repairs will require the following road closures:

• E. 18th St. will be closed between Alexander Ave. and Dunn Ave.
• Alexander Ave. will be closed between E. 19th St. and E. 20th St.
• Foothills Rd. will be closed between Blue Bluff and Canyon Rd.

Valve repairs and associated road closures are expected to take approximately 7 days.

BOPU expects construction activities to begin next week on a new water main installation project on Dell Range Blvd. Work will initially begin the week of March 9, 2026, on the Airport Golf Course, and will then continue east on Dell Range Blvd. to Prairie Ave., using horizontal directional drilling to install a new 8-inch water main line. This installation method should drastically reduce surface disturbances, however, intersections and water service reconnections to all homes and businesses will require open excavations for connection. This work will be coordinated directly with homeowners and business owners as construction progresses.

Water shut offs will be coordinated, but unfortunately unplanned emergency shut offs may occur.

The north lane of Dell Range Blvd. will be closed for the duration of construction.

Pipe installation within Dell Range Boulevard is expected to be completed prior to Cheyenne Frontier Days, with the full project completion expected in late September 2026. The BOPU will work diligently to keep homes and businesses accessible, however vehicles should not be parked in the Right-of-Way within the work zone between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and Saturdays on occasion. This area will be clearly marked. Direct access to driveways may not be possible for short periods of time during construction. In these cases, the BOPU asks residents to park safely in areas away from the work zone.

While minimizing disruption to daily commutes is the goal, some minor inconveniences are inevitable. We ask for residents’ patience, respect and safety for the workers on site.

This project will advance water service reliability for the area and is part of BOPU’s initiative to accelerate the renewal of water infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life. Work will be completed by Mechanical System Inc. (MSI) and Sunrise Engineering. The BOPU thanks residents for their patience as we upgrade the water system.
