Route description
Wyoming Highway 374 begins its western end at exit 61 of Interstate 80, southwest of Granger. WYO 374 travels along the north side of I-80, acting as a frontage road, for just under 5 miles until it reaches U.S. Route 30 where it temporarily ends. Further east along I-80/US 30, Highway 374 resumes at exit 68 at Little America. WYO 374 once again travels along the north side of I-80. At approximately 3.5 miles, Tenneco Road (CR 85) is intersected which provides access to exit 72 of I-80/US 30. Further east, Highway 374 reaches the southern terminus of Wyoming Highway 372 (La Barge Road) at a T intersection. WYO 372 travels north from here to Wyoming Highway 28 and U.S. Route 189 while WYO 374 turns south and immediately intersects exit 83 of I-80/US 30. Now Highway 374 travels eastward toward Green River on the south side of the interstate. As WYO 374 enters James Town, a census-designated place (CDP) west of Green River, Covered Wagon Road (CR 59) is intersected which provides access to exit 85 of I-80/US 30 and travels north to the Rolling Green Country Club.
