1:18 P.M. UPDATE:

Both lanes of Interstate 80 between Rock Springs and Cheyenne are back open. Due to rolling closure, the eastbound lanes from the Utah state line to Rock Springs remain closed.

Eastbound Interstate 80 from Laramie to Cheyenne is now open. The westbound lanes remain closed due to rolling closure.

ORIGINAL STORY:

It could be late this afternoon before Interstate 80 in Wyoming reopens, according to the Department of Transportation.

At this time, the eastbound lanes are closed from the Utah state line to Rock Springs and both lanes are closed between Rock Springs and Cheyenne.

As of 11 a.m. Wednesday, WYDOT estimated it would take crews four to six hours to get the 172-mile stretch between Creston Junction and Cheyenne -- which was closed due to winter conditions -- back open.
