According to a Wyoming Highway Patrol Facebook post, Wyoming 213, a popular shortcut that runs from Burns to the north Albin turnoff on U.S. 85, still has horrible conditions.

"Even though the road is closed, the patrol is still experiencing motorists who continue to travel on it," the post reads. "This is creating many slide-offs and crashes on this roadway. Please remember when a road is closed, it is for your safety."

Drivers are encouraged to call 511 or visit wyoroad.info for the latest road conditions and closure information.
