Small-Town Paving on WYO 216

Paving contractors in Albin work in a very small, very rural place. The town covers about 0.15 square miles in northeastern Laramie County, about 55 miles east-northeast of Cheyenne, and counted 169 residents in 2020. Wyoming Highway 216 runs through town. Driveways, farm shop aprons, equipment pads and community lots such as the school and churches make up most of the work.

Town history

Albin was incorporated in 1930. Its population peaked at 208 in 1950, dipped to 118 in 1970, and has hovered in the 120 to 180 range since. Albin Elementary, run by Laramie County School District 2, serves kindergarten through sixth grade.

Weather

Albin sits at about 5,338 feet and gets about 18.1 inches of precipitation a year, a bit more than Cheyenne. Its mean annual daily minimum is 33.7 degrees, so nights hover around freezing for much of the year. That means a long freeze-thaw season for any pavement.

Farm pads and yards

Farm properties need pads that carry grain trucks, trailers and tractors. HomeGuide recommends 3 to 4 inches of asphalt over 8 to 10 inches of base for heavier vehicles and more for commercial loads. For large yards, compacted recycled asphalt, which Angi lists at $3 to $8 per square foot installed, often makes more sense than hot-mix across the whole area.

Homes in town

In-town driveways are short, and most are older. Where patches keep failing, we remove the old pavement and rebuild the base. Where the driveway is still sound, crack sealing and a sealcoat are inexpensive ways to add years.

Distance and scheduling

Because Albin is far from the asphalt plant, haul is a real part of the cost. We include it in the written estimate and try to group work in the area so owners can share the trip.

Drainage

On flat farm ground, water stays put unless the pavement is shaped to move it. We set slope on every pad and driveway and keep shop door aprons from ponding.

What owners here usually ask for

In and around Albin, most requests are shop and bin-site aprons, driveway paving at the house, and patching and sealing on school, church and community lots.
