The Riverton office of the National Weather Service says the high wind warnings for central to east Wyoming will remain in effect until 6 p.m.

Cheyenne resident, Carlos Gonzalez, captured some frightening footage of the I-25 blaze while driving through it.

Falling fuel tax revenues have contributed to the budgetary bind.

Northbound lanes of I-25 were closed between Wheatland and US 18/20 at Exit 126 due to winter conditions and crashes.

The number and severity of crashes that contributed to the closure were not clear.

The crash, which occurred in the northbound lanes, blocked traffic for some two and a half hours while first responders cleared the scene.

This story will be updated as we are able to report further details.

Winter storm warnings were posted Thursday for areas that included Cheyenne, Laramie, Wheatland and Lusk.

The rest areas at Chugwater, Dwyer Junction and Orin Junction are the latest stops to offer Wi-Fi at no cost to the public, according to a WYDOT news release.

The storm has forced WYDOT to close some area highways.
