toll road

The idea of making I-80 a toll road is not new, in fact, it's been under discussion since at least 2010 when the state conducted a study of the concept.

But it doesn't sound like the idea behind the bill is dead, judging from comments made by the committee chair at the end of the hearing.

The bill could be re-filed by an individual lawmaker, but that is considered unlikely to happen in this session.

The idea of making I-80 a toll road in Wyoming has been discussed for at least a decade, but so far no such proposal has won final approval from state lawmakers.

It's also a dangerous road, with eight deaths in the first half of March.
