Route description

The Wyoming Highway 216 designation was originally commissioned in 1926 in Weston and Crook counties. US 16 and [[Wyoming Highway 116 ]] were designated the same year. WYO 216 began as a state route, but was quickly added to the U.S. route system as US 216. However, in 1936, US 216 became part of the US 16 mainline, and the US 216 designation was deleted.[1]
Major intersections
[edit]The entire route is in Laramie County. [3]
