Sheridan Street between 12th and 13th closed Feb 25-27 for manhole replacements

Sheridan Street between 12th Street and 13th Street in Laramie will be closed to traffic beginning Wednesday as a contractor replaces manholes for the City of Laramie. "Beginning Wednesday February 25, 2026, a contractor will be replacing manholes for the City of Laramie on Sheridan St., 12th – 13th," the City said, and the closure will cover the single block between those numbered cross streets.

The City advised drivers that "there will be barricades, detours, and road closure signs in place" and added a direct safety reminder: "Please look for signage and workers."
