I-80 Motorists⚠
Final superload to impact travel on Interstate 80 this summer

LARAMIE, Wyo. – The Wyoming Department of Transportation is alerting motorists that a slow-moving superload carrying a transformer will be transported from Laramie to Medicine Bow beginning Thursday.

The superload will be leaving the Laramie railyard on Thursday afternoon and is estimated to make it onto Interstate 80 at the Snowy Range on-ramp at mile marker 311 by 2:00 p.m. From there, the superload will move west to the truck parking lot at milepost 307.

On Friday, August 8, the superload will leave the truck parking around 5:00 a.m. and drive to Arlington at mile marker 272 on I-80.

The journey is anticipated to take around 2 hours. From there, the transport will take Wyoming Highway 13 to US Highway 30/287, ending its route in Medicine Bow.

The transport dimensions are 17’3” tall, 26’ wide, 385’ long, and it weighs 1,484,000 lbs.

Due to the size of the superload, both lanes of travel will be used.

Not to cause damage to the interstate, the transport will be traveling at 25-30 mph, dropping to 10 mph over bridges.

Stoppages and travel delays should be expected.
This is the final superload transport this summer.

I want to know if they have any rules about just pulling over and watching this thing.

You might have seen this rig in Wyoming before now.

I have, and it is amazing to watch.

It's not just a trailer.

Watch these videos to see how it takes sharp corners.

An entire team is needed to operate this thing.

Talk about a modern marvel.

This Wyoming Store Has The Funniest Signs

This store has far too many signs to show them all to you.

You could spend a day there and not see them all.

There are also bumper stickers, hats, T-shirts, and so much more to make you smile and laugh.

You won't find this store where you would expect it to be.

Vintage Wyoming Movie Posters

I love walking down the hallway of a modern movie theater and looking at the old posters of vintage movies.

That got me thinking about old Westerns based on Wyoming. How many of those posters are still around?

Many are, and many are for sale online, if you want to decorate your home, or even home theater, with classic and mostly forgotten movie posters.

Most of these films were made before the era of television. Hollywood was cranking out these things as fast as they could.

The plots, the scrips, the acting, directing, and editing were SO BAD, they were good.
