Wyoming DOT uses NWS ITS Cabinets for Freeway Closure System
October 7th, 2008
The State of Wyoming is in the midst of deploying an automated freeway closure system along 10 miles of Interstate I-25. The system will allow remote control of gates and flashers and will enhance the state’s ability to initiate and terminate freeway closures.
Northwest Signal Supply (NWS) manufactured 22 ITS cabinets for three separate construction contracts. The cabinet assemblies consisted of a 332 cabinet (made by NWS), power and communication/control panels, and battery back-up equipment. NWS integrated and tested the equipment to Wyoming DOT specifications.
Installation of the ITS cabinets was performed by Modern Electric, an established and respected electrical contractor in the State of Wyoming.
