Laramie County Public Works struggles to keep up with road conditions
CHEYENNE – Laramie County Emergency Management put out the following statement Wednesday morning related to road conditions outside the city of Cheyenne:
"Laramie County Public Works is working diligently to keep the county roads open for the public. However, we are fighting drifting and blowing snow and are doing our best to keep up.
"In order to provide a safe transportation network to our citizens, we request the public only travel if absolutely necessary with this Wyoming wind picking up. If you do have to travel, please use caution, as we are dealing with large snowdrifts that can be deceiving.
"As a note, Laramie County Public Works crews are focused on keeping the roads open and will not be able to assist if you are stuck on the side of the road. If you have an emergency please call 911 for assistance."
