Portions of WY 70 and 130 Close For Season

Portions of Wyoming 70 between Encampment and Baggs and Wyoming 130 between Centennial and Saratoga are now closed for the season. The Wyoming Transportation Department says strong wind and precipitation in southern Wyoming over the past few days have created very large, firm drifts. The high elevation portions of both roadways are closed annually in late autumn when relatively low traffic volume and increasing snow accumulations make plowing operations impractical. Both alpine highways will open next spring, traditionally in late May.
