CASPER, WYOMING — The two massive superloads that have been making their way across Wyoming since Sunday departed the Casper Port of Entry this morning and are currently en route to their final destination south of Gillette.
The loads left the Casper Port of Entry at approximately 9 a.m. Monday on the final leg of their journey, traveling northbound on I-25 to Highway 259, then onto Highway 387, and continuing on Highway 59 toward Gillette.
Drivers on those routes should expect significant delays throughout the afternoon. The loads are traveling at 25 to 35 mph and slowing to 10 mph over bridges. Motorists are asked to give the trucks and their escorts plenty of room.
Background
The two superloads — each weighing close to 200,000 pounds and measuring 27 feet wide — began their Wyoming journey in Evanston on Sunday, April 26, traveling through WY 89, briefly into Utah, and back into Wyoming near US 30. They passed through Opal, Farson, and over South Pass before heading down US 287 to Muddy Gap and arriving in Casper Sunday evening, where they spent the night at the Port of Entry.
