state highway in Wyoming, United States
Wyoming Highway 116 (WYO 116) is a 60.97-mile-long (98.12 km) north–south state highway located in central Weston and southern Crook counties of the U.S. state of Wyoming. It travels from WYO 450 south of Upton north to U.S. Route 14 (US 14) in Sundance.
Route description
Wyoming Highway 116 begins its southern end south of Upton on Wyoming Highway 450 approximately half-way in between Wright and Newcastle. Highway 116 heads north through central Weston County, and then turns northeast to Upton. WYO 116 enters Upton from the southwest, and intersects U.S. Route 16 (2nd Street) at approximately 32.5 miles (52.3 km). Highway 116 then turns northwest and overlaps US 16 for a short distance through Upton, before leaving US 16 for its own routing, along Ash Street, toward Sundance.
Route 116 continues to travel northerly, but as it nears the Crook County line, turns east and runs roughly parallel to it before turning north and crossing into Crook County. Highway 116 continues toward Sundance as it travels through the south-central part of the county. Route 116 reaches its northern terminus at 60.97 miles (98.12 km) at I-90 Business and U.S. Route 14 at the western edge of Sundance. Exit 185 on Interstate 90 lies just west of Highway 116's northern terminus and Wyoming Highway 585 can be reached by turning east onto I-90 Business and U.S. Route 14 into Sundance.

Why this record matters
The phrase “state highway in Wyoming, United States” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2508859. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
