A gust was reported in Cheyenne that reached 89 mph, while South Pass saw gusts of 90 to 100 mph.

The WYDOT employees were injured and taken to a hospital, but the release does not say how severe their injuries are.

Dear Wyoming Department of Transportation,
This probably isn't a big deal to most. Honestly, this letter is more of a request than anything else. I am a United States Marine Corps veteran and while I love my veteran plates, I really wish I could have them and have them customized...

Wyoming hasn't had much snow this winter yet, but Mother Nature looked to make up for that on Tuesday.

In recent years, crews have plowed snow as needed and where needed during a storm.

Interstate 80 is under a rolling closure from Rock Springs to just west of Cheyenne. The closure was issued at 9 a.m. and was expected to last 15 to 17 hours.

The cause and extent of the fire was unknown as of Thursday evening.

The guardrail at the Sand Turn Lookout, a few miles west of Dayton, wasn't so lucky.

There was no word on whether anyone was injured.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation posted the alert Thursday afternoon.

With everything going on, did anyone else forget that Wyoming turns 130 this year? The Wyoming Department of Transportation and the Wyoming Game & Fish Department have teamed up to help the state celebrate its years of statehood as well as its wildlife.

WYDOT did not have an estimated time for the highway to reopen.
