Wyo 70

Wyoming Highway 70 over Battle Pass has reopened for the summer season, the Wyoming Department of Transportation announced Thursday.

After working for several weeks to clear two seasonally closed roads, the Wyoming Department of Transportation has opened WYO 130 over the Snowy Range and WYO 70 over the Sierra Madre as of Monday, May 21.

WYDOT is working to reopen WYO 130 over the Snowy Range and will soon begin work on WYO 70 over Battle Pass.

WYDOT crew members swung the gates this morning officially opening for the season WYO 70 over Battle Pass in south-central Wyoming. Yesterday it appeared that clearing the alpine roadway would be delayed due to equipment breakdowns. Ultimately, the teams were able to patch things up and complete the job in time for the Memorial Day weekend...

WYDOT geologists and engineers today visited the site of a slide on WYO 70 and discovered that roadway damage has doubled since it was first surveyed on Tuesday.
