As of 9 a.m. on Tuesday, east- and westbound lanes along the I-80 corridor between Cheyenne and Rock Springs remain closed due to winter conditions and crashes, according to the Wyoming Department of Transportation.

Rolling closures are in effect in the eastbound lanes of I-80 from Rock Springs to the Utah State line.

Sweetwater School Districts No. 1 and 2 are open today, as is Western Wyoming Community College. However, the University of Wyoming is closed for a second day due to the weather and poor road conditions.
