Wyoming Highway 230
state highway in Wyoming, United States
Wyoming Highway 230 (WYO 230) is a 78.74-mile-long (126.72 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Wyoming. It is known locally as Rivers Road and travels from WYO 130 approximately eight miles (13 km) south of Saratoga south from there to intersect WYO 70 in Riverside and then heads southeast to the Colorado-Wyoming state line. The highway continues southeast in Colorado as State Highway 125 (SH 125), then it turns northeast as SH 127. At the Wyoming-Colorado state line, WYO 230 resumes. WYO 230 then heads northeast towards Laramie to end at Business Loop I-80/U.S. Route 30/U.S. Route 287 (I-80 BL/US 30 /US 287) in Laramie. WYO 230 provides a scenic and less-traveled alternative for travelers who want to avoid I-80 and US 30 but cannot take WYO 130 which is closed in the winter.
