POWELL — The Wyoming Department of Transportation’s former district traffic and construction engineer in Basin is the new leader of WYDOT’s maintenance program in northwest Wyoming.
Lyle Lamb, 46, is looking forward to leading his new maintenance team.
“The challenge of the new job is nice, but the best part of WYDOT are people helping meet WYDOT’s mission of providing a safe, high quality and efficient transportation system for the citizens of Wyoming,” Lamb said. “I enjoy working with WYDOT employees to meet our mission for citizens, landowners, and city, county and tribal governments.”
Lamb is a Powell native and 19-year WYDOT veteran. He graduated from Powell High School in 1988. Following four years of service in the U.S. Navy, Lamb attended Northwest College in Powell and then transferred to Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont. He graduated from MSU with his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in 1998.
Lamb joined WYDOT in 1998 as a member of the Lander engineering crew.
As project engineer, Lamb’s construction experience includes supervising reconstruction and widening of Wyoming 789 to five lanes between Hudson and Lander, and construction and realignment of Wyoming 28 across the old U.S. Steel mine. He was promoted to resident engineer and supervised seven years of reconstruction of U.S. 26/287 over Togwotee Pass west of Dubois. He was promoted to District 5 traffic engineer in 2012 and District 5 construction engineer in 2015.
“Lyle Lamb is a skilled engineer who is proactive in dealing with transportation opportunities. He is skilled in public involvement, problem solving, and making transportation decisions for our state’s citizens,” said WYDOT District Engineer Pete Hallsten.
Lamb replaces Hallsten, who was promoted Nov. 1 to WYDOT district engineer in northwest Wyoming.
Lamb and his wife, Theresa, live in Powell, and they have three sons, Logan, Cameron and Karson.
Lamb enjoys family activities, off-road vehicles, hunting and fishing, taking care of his cattle herd, and Powell High School athletics in his spare time.
