Aside from wooden snow fences, why doesn’t WY build snow barriers right next to I-80?

Say hell to all of that and just build a heated road

 

Thats one of the dangers of trucking. There you are with your thoughts asking what if. =)

 

Keep in mind Wyoming has oil. Wind will be something that will procreate as the money is spent over time.

 

You can only send electricity so far down the wires before it becomes hugely inefficient, and you may have noticed there's not that many people in Wyoming.

 

95 used to be tolled. They yanked them out due to congestion but with today's technology booths are no longer needed.

 

80 is such a heavy thru truck route, they get severe weather EVERY year, you’d think they’d invest more in snow and ice control. I get no one wants to spend money, but WY is pretty important for moving products to many points on the West coast. Maybe they’d get involved with some kind of regional investment deal to keep 80 clear.

 

Don't do that to Wyoming.
