Winter conditions and crashes have forced the Wyoming Department of Transportation to close Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.

The second segment of a slab repair project that started in Cheyenne last year will resume on Monday, weather permitting.

A crash two miles south of the Wyoming/Colorado border has forced WYDOT to close southbound Interstate 25 from Cheyenne to the state line.

Traffic will be shifted to one lane for the duration of the project with reduced speed limits through the work zones.

So far this winter, at least 23 WYDOT plows, including 10 in District 1 (southeast), have been struck by motorists.

The highways were reopened late Tuesday.

All lanes of Interstate 80 are now open.

Winter conditions have forced the Wyoming Department of Transportation to close westbound Interstate 80 between Laramie and Cheyenne.

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

Sometimes the plows won't try to clear the roads because drifts form after the plowing and that's a waste of time and resources.
