Towing in Laramie, WY, for semis and heavy units

Along the way

1. 316
   Grand Avenue. The last Laramie exit eastbound.
2. ↑
   Telephone Canyon. The long climb out of Laramie toward the summit.
3. 323
   Happy Jack Road and Sherman Summit. WYO 210 meets I-80 near the summit rest area, at 8,640 feet the highest point on all of I-80.

WYDOT has closed I-80 between Laramie and Cheyenne overnight in heavy storms, with WYO 210 closed too. In high wind, I-80 from Cheyenne west past Laramie to Elk Mountain has been closed to light, high-profile vehicles.

Tell dispatch

1. Eastbound, and the nearest exit or milepost.
2. Whether you stopped on the climb or on the way down.
3. Loaded or empty, and what is on the trailer.

Closer to the capital? Our Cheyenne towing page covers that end of the run.

Along the way

1. 311
   Snowy Range Road. WYO 130 and WYO 230 leave I-80 here, west of downtown.
2. 310
   Curtis Street. The business loop on the west side of town.
3. →
   Arlington and Elk Mountain. Open country between Laramie and Walcott Junction.

WYDOT has closed I-80 from Laramie to Walcott Junction to light, high-profile vehicles, with an extreme blow over risk posted. During long closures WYDOT can roll the closure back to the next town with services, so westbound trucks may be held in Laramie.

Tell dispatch

1. Westbound, and the nearest exit or milepost.
2. Whether the unit is upright, on its side or off the shoulder.
3. Whether any cargo came off the trailer.

Along the way

1. 313
   US 287 and Third Street. The I-80 exit where US 287 heads south.
2. ↓
   Tie Siding. The road crosses a pass of about 8,100 feet between the Laramie and Medicine Bow mountains.
3. CO
   Colorado line. About eight miles south of Tie Siding, then on to Fort Collins.

In one spring storm that shut I-80 near Laramie, WYDOT reported US 287 south of town still open. That is not a promise for the next storm, so check 511 first.

Tell dispatch

1. Which side of the state line you are on.
2. The nearest mile marker or landmark, such as Tie Siding.
3. Whether the unit is in a lane or fully off the road.

Along the way

1. 30
   US 30 and US 287 north. They run together out of Laramie toward Bosler.
2. 34
   Bosler Junction. About 18 miles north of the I-80 crossing, WYO 34 turns east.
3. 73
   I-25 exit 73. WYO 34 runs about 52 miles to I-25 just south of Wheatland.

This is the short way between Laramie and the center of our Wyoming work. Services are few between Bosler and I-25, so call early if a unit starts acting up.

Tell dispatch

1. Which highway you are on: US 30 or WYO 34.
2. The nearest mile marker, or how far past Bosler.
3. The unit, the load and whether it still runs.
