US-189 Webcam at Junction of WYO-240
US-189 Webcam at WYO-240 Junction, Wyoming – Road & Weather Conditions
The US-189 webcam at the junction with WYO-240 provides a real-time view of traffic flow, road conditions, and weather visibility along a remote stretch of western Wyoming. Located near milepost 57.5, this section of US-189 runs between Kemmerer and La Barge, serving as an important north-south route for regional travel, energy development traffic, and long-distance drivers heading toward western Wyoming destinations.
Traffic along this corridor is typically light to moderate, with a mix of local vehicles, commercial trucks, and travelers moving between southwestern Wyoming communities. Because this route connects to larger corridors leading toward Jackson and central Wyoming, it sees steady use despite its remote setting.
Road conditions can change quickly depending on the season. During winter, snow, ice, and strong winds are common, especially across open terrain where drifting snow can cover portions of the roadway. Icy conditions may develop during colder temperatures, particularly overnight or in shaded areas. In summer, the highway is generally dry and easy to navigate, though thunderstorms can briefly impact traction and visibility.
Weather visibility is a major factor at this location. The open high desert landscape allows wind to move freely, leading to blowing snow in winter and occasional dust in dry conditions. Fog and fast-moving weather systems can also reduce visibility with little warning.
Seasonal travel conditions vary, with winter presenting the greatest challenges and summer offering more consistent driving conditions. This webcam helps travelers monitor real-time conditions near milepost 57.5 and plan safe travel along US-189.
About US-189 and the WYO-240 Junction

US-189 is a key north-south highway that connects Interstate 80 near Evanston to western Wyoming destinations including Kemmerer, La Barge, and Jackson further north. This route plays an important role in regional transportation, supporting both local travel and long-distance movement.
WY-240 is a smaller state route that provides access to surrounding ranchland and energy development areas. The junction itself is a minor but important connection point for local traffic and navigation in the region.
The surrounding geography includes high desert terrain with sagebrush landscapes and wide-open skies. Weather conditions can change quickly, particularly in winter when snow and wind are common. The lack of natural wind barriers allows drifting snow and reduced visibility to develop rapidly.
