Winter closure of U.S. Highway 14A set for Friday

Posted

The annual winter closure of U.S. Highway 14A will occur at noon Friday, between Burgess Junction and Lovell, according to the Wyoming Department of Transportation.

“U.S. 14A may close earlier than noon Friday, but the weather forecast is calling for favorable weather through the end of the week, “ said WYDOT Area Maintenance Supervisor Brian Pittman of Basin.

The annual winter closure of U.S. Highway 14A, west of Burgess Junction, is at milepost 76.04 on the Lovell side of the Bighorn Mountains. The seasonal closure at Burgess Junction is just east of milepost 98.1. WYDOT annually closes this 22-mile stretch of scenic mountain highway by the end of November. It usually opens for the summer by Memorial Day weekend.
