UPDATE: I-80 Now Open Across Wyoming
UPDATE:
I-80 is now open across Wyoming. The majority of I-80 is still slick in spots with blowing snow, so please be extra cautious if you have to travel.
UPDATE:
I-80 eastbound between Laramie and Cheyenne has reopened. There is a no light trailer advisory in effect.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Blowing and drifting snow are keeping much of I-80 closed.
Wyoming Department of Transportation Spokesman Ross Doman says crews are working on a couple of larger drifts between Laramie and Cheyenne, and hope to get the eastbound lane open sometime today.
It's unknown when I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins might reopen. Current wind speeds of 48 m.p.h. in the Arlington/Elk Mountain area are creating dangerous visibility and drifting issues.
