Last update: 2 hours agoWildlife Safety on U.S. 189: WYDOT and Wyoming Game and Fish are building wildlife crossings near Kemmerer to cut wildlife-vehicle crashes on a 30-mile stretch that averages about 80 collisions a year. The project includes 8-foot deer fencing plus underpasses and an overpass, aiming for completion in October 2027.

Road Work Disruptions: WYDOT will close the westbound I-80 off-ramp at Exit 173 in Wamsutter for paving repairs, and crews begin bridge deck replacement work on the I-80 bridge west of Green River with lane closures and an exit 89 closure. Climate in Wyoming’s Fossils: A new Science study links ancient Wyoming forest collapse during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum to long recovery times—an analog researchers say may warn about today’s warming thresholds.
