Buffalo Main Street Construction Updates
Main Street in Buffalo Wyoming is undergoing a construction project this spring and summer. The downtown portion of the project began on Monday, March 3, and was completed on Friday, May 16. The center line is marked temporarily with reflective strips until the wearing course is applied to the road later this year. But the downtown section is fully open for traffic and convenient parking.
Work has moved to the section between Fort and Hart streets.
While some street parking may be restricted during this time, vehicles will be able to utilize Main Street. Follow the directions of construction signs and markers in the area.
Businesses remain open, and off-street parking is available.
The City of Buffalo has public parking available at Prosinski Park baseball diamond and the corner of West Fetterman and Western Avenue. There is a public lot across from the Johnson County Courthouse at the northwest corner of Main and Fort streets. Additional public parking is available to the east of ANB Bank off Lobban Avenue and across from First Northern Bank at the intersection of Angus and Main Street. Also, the west portion of the Farm Bureau Financial Services parking lot next to Crazy Woman Square is available for parking, but please leave spaces closest to the building for staff and clients.
