The project uses existing fiber-optic cables to “feel” the road for things like traffic speed. Also, an artificial intelligence based computer vision system will use cameras to identify the presence of vehicles and analyze weather and road conditions.

The agency is selling the remaining inventory on a first-come, first-serve basis. The majority of the sales go to support scholarships for Indigenous students.

The agency is planning projects and timelines for 2026 through 2031. Projects can include highways, public transit, federal land roads and roads through tribal lands.

Often, cars drive at full speed and crash into the gate on the other end because they didn’t realize the road was closed.

The extreme wind gusts were on South Pass and near Smoot. But unusually high wind was prevalent across the entire state this week.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation is responsible for roughly 350 snowplows across the state.

Federal funding freezes have stalled a proposed wildlife crossing project in Fremont County. The agencies involved are still trying to make it happen.

WYDOT had hoped it could beat snowfall and wrap up work on Teton Pass by November. But, the full landslide repairs will now have to wait until next summer.

State agencies, nonprofits and the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes are teaming up to try and get $17 million in federal funding for wildlife crossings on Highway 26/287 east of Dubois. The hope is to reduce collisions between vehicles and wildlife along an especially dangerous stretch from milepost 58 through 67.
