The Fremont County DOT closed Mackenzie Avenue from Monday, March 2, 2026 thru Monday, March 9, 2026, to conduct roadway culvert repairs. FCDOT Crews replaced 2 culverts going underneath Mackenzie Avenue that had extensive damage. There were 2 locations next to each other, one was 80’ of 15” culvert, and the other was 80’ of 24” culvert. The roadway was cut, the old culvert removed, a new culvert placed, backfilled with wet class 6, and asphalted to complete the project. Our staff truly appreciates your patience and cooperation while crews worked to complete the repairs!

Fremont County Traffic Crash Dashboard
Fremont County Public Health has developed an interactive dashboard to provide the public with access to traffic crash data across Fremont County. The dashboard allows users to explore trends related to crash frequency, injury severity, roadway corridors, time of day, and potential driver impairment factors.
This tool supports ongoing roadway safety initiatives and helps inform the work of local partners, including the Fremont County DUI Task Force, law enforcement agencies, and transportation safety programs.
By providing transparent access to crash data, the dashboard aims to promote community awareness and support data-driven strategies that reduce crashes and improve safety for all road users.
