Casper, WY – Drivers in central and northeastern Wyoming should expect traffic delays today as two oversized “superload” transports make their way north from Casper, according to the Wyoming Highway Patrol.
The agency shared a morning update noting both loads are traveling northbound from Casper, continuing along Wyoming Highway 259, then onto Highway 387, before reaching their final destination off Highway 59 south of Gillette.
According to the Highway Patrol, motorists along the route should prepare for slower travel speeds and intermittent traffic stops as escort vehicles help navigate the large equipment through towns and junctions. Officials did not specify the exact size or cargo type but emphasized that the convoy’s movement would impact travel through multiple counties throughout the day.
“Plan ahead and drive patiently,” the department advised in its update. “These loads require careful coordination and can cause short-term congestion, especially on two-lane stretches.”
Drivers are encouraged to check WYDOT’s travel updates and give the convoy extra space while passing or merging near the transport.
This route—spanning parts of Natrona, Johnson, and Campbell counties—serves as a key connector between central and northeastern Wyoming, often used for energy and industrial shipments.
