CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Officials have closed portions of Interstate 80 and other highways in southern Wyoming due to winter conditions.
Stretches of southern Wyoming were under a winter storm warning, while a high wind warning was issued for most of the state, according to the National Weather Service.
I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins was shut down Saturday morning and was expected to remain closed between nine and 11 hours, according to the Wyoming Department of Transportation.
The interstate was also closed between Cheyenne and Otto Road due to a rolling closure. A rolling closure happens when a small town along the highway is at capacity, putting travelers at risk of being stranded without services.
Other closures included U.S. Highway 191 south of Rock Springs to the Utah state line.
