UPDATE:
As of 11 p.m., WYDOT estimates it will take crews nine to 11 hours to get the roughly 100-mile stretch between Rawlins and Laramie, which is closed due to rolling conditions, back open.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Hundreds of miles of Interstate 80 in Wyoming have been closed due to winter conditions and rolling closures.
I-80 is currently closed between Evanston and Exit 39 (Wyoming 412/414) due to winter conditions, between Exit 39 and Rawlins due to rolling closure, between Rawlins and Laramie due to winter conditions, and between Laramie and Cheyenne due to rolling closure.
