Was I-80 Wyoming Built Over Chinese Graves?

I came across a video on social media that claims that Interstate 80 in Wyoming was built over the graves of Chinese workers who had built the first intercontinental railroad across the state.

Is that true? Here is what I found.

Based on available historical records and research, there is no direct evidence confirming that a specific section of Interstate 80 in Wyoming was intentionally built over Chinese graves.

While Chinese rail workers faced immense loss and were often buried near Union Pacific tracks, the claim regarding I-80 is likely a conflation of railroad history and folklore, though the region holds a violent history of anti-Chinese violence, such as the 1885 Rock Springs Massacre.

But the video below swears that it is true. Where did they get this idea from?

It is a well-known historical fact that many Chinese workers died building the Transcontinental Railroad (which roughly parallels I-80) and were buried along the right-of-way.

While many unmarked graves likely exist along the entire older railroad corridor from the 1860s, there is no evidence documenting specific Chinese burial grounds, let alone their desecration by the construction of modern Interstate 80.

The idea is often cited as an urban legend or a reflection of the 'stories we walk over every day,' according to local history accounts on platforms like Facebook.

I went digging to see if I could find any other stores that suggest such a thing had ever happened, and I could not.

So, are there somethings on the internet that claims to be factual that are not? GOSH, go figure. Never saw that coming. (Sarcasm).
