Cheyenne, WY – Drivers across Wyoming are facing hazardous travel conditions today as winter weather creates slick roads along two of the state’s busiest corridors, Interstate 25 and Interstate 80.
According to the Wyoming Highway Patrol, both interstates are experiencing icy pavement, blowing snow, and worsening visibility as troopers respond to multiple crashes. The agency issued a warning especially for the stretch of I-25 from the Colorado border north to Cheyenne, where delays are expected throughout the day.
Troopers said the combination of cold temperatures and active snowfall has produced polished, slick roadway surfaces that continue to cause spin-outs and collisions. Emergency crews are reportedly working several scenes simultaneously, slowing traffic in both directions.
The Highway Patrol is urging drivers to slow down, leave extra stopping distance, and prepare for unexpected halts. Officials added that anyone who does not need to travel today should consider postponing trips until conditions improve.
I-80 and I-25 are key freight and commuter routes through Laramie County, Carbon County, and southeastern Wyoming, meaning delays may ripple across the region. As weather continues to move through the area, additional advisories may be issued.
Residents are encouraged to monitor WYDOT road condition maps and stay alert for updates from state troopers as the situation develops.
