US-26 / US-287 Webcam at Diversion Dam near Crowheart, Wyoming – Road & Weather Conditions
The US-26 and US-287 webcam at Diversion Dam near Crowheart, Wyoming provides a real-time view of traffic flow, road conditions, and weather visibility along a key stretch of highway in the Wind River Valley. Located near milepost 96, this section of roadway sits between Crowheart and Riverton, where open terrain and river influence can affect driving conditions.
Traffic along this corridor is typically light to moderate, consisting of local commuters, agricultural vehicles, and regional travelers moving between Dubois, Crowheart, and Riverton. This route also supports tourism traffic heading toward the Teton region, especially during the summer months.
Road conditions in this area are generally manageable, but weather can quickly change conditions. Winter often brings snow, ice, and occasional drifting snow, particularly in open areas where wind can push snow across the roadway. Bridge and dam surfaces may become icy more quickly than surrounding pavement. In summer, roads are typically dry, though rain and thunderstorms can temporarily reduce traction and visibility.
Weather visibility is an important factor near Diversion Dam. Strong winds, blowing snow, and occasional fog near the river can reduce visibility quickly. The open valley allows weather systems to move through rapidly, leading to sudden changes in driving conditions.
Seasonal travel conditions vary, with winter requiring extra caution due to snow and ice, while summer offers more consistent driving conditions. This webcam helps travelers monitor real-time conditions near milepost 96 and plan safe travel along US-26 and US-287.
