More than 250 miles of interstate in southeast Wyoming remains closed to light and high-profile vehicles this afternoon, as gusty winds continue to slam the area.

A gust was reported in Cheyenne that reached 89 mph, while South Pass saw gusts of 90 to 100 mph.

It could be early Wednesday morning before a 250-mile stretch of Interstate 80 in Wyoming reopens, according to the Department of Transportation.

I-25 reports slick conditions between Cheyenne and Glendo, but as of the last report, no closures were in effect for that highway in Wyoming.

Projects will be taking place in Carbon, Albany, and Laramie Counties.

In recent years, crews have plowed snow as needed and where needed during a storm.

EllieMay is tan with 4 white socks, a white chest, black mask with a white stripe going down her nose.

The closure probably won't be the last, as a strong early winter storm continues to rock Wyoming.

Falling fuel tax revenues have contributed to the budgetary bind.

The work should take about three weeks.

WYDOT still warns motorists to be aware of late spring snow showers.

According to data from the Wyoming Department of Transportation, I-80 has been closed 54 out of last 152 days.
