Winter weather shuts down Wyoming highways

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Officials have closed portions of Interstate 80 and other highways in southern Wyoming due to winter conditions.

Wyoming Department of Transportation officials say I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins was shut down Saturday morning and was expected to remain closed between nine and 11 hours.

The interstate is also closed between Cheyenne and Otto Road due to a rolling closure. Other closures included U.S. Highway 191 south of Rock Springs to the Utah state line. Stretches of southern Wyoming are under a winter storm warning and most of the state is under a high-wind warning.
