Wyoming Highway 132 (WYO 132) is a 17.43-mile-long (28.05 km) south-north state highway in Fremont County in the U.S. state of Wyoming. It travels from U.S. Route 287 (US 287) near Lander north to US 26 in Johnstown by way of Ethete.

## Route description

[edit]

WYO 132, known locally as the Blue Sky Highway,[2] lies entirely within the Wind River Indian Reservation.[citation needed]. Its southern terminus is north of Lander at US 287. WYO 132 proceeds toward Ethete, approximately 7 miles (11 km) to the north.[1] Before reaching Ethete, the highway intersects 17 Mile Road, which turns into WYO 137 east of the junction. WYO 132 continues north to its northern terminus at US 26, for a total length of 17.43 miles (28.05 km).[1] This intersection is also the southern terminus of WYO 133.[1]

The bridge spanning the Wind River was deemed structurally unsafe after a vehicle accident in June 2006.[2] A temporary detour bridge was put in place by September 2006, and a new permanent bridge opened to traffic in November 2007.[3]

The Wyoming Highway 132 (WYO 132) improvement project involved roadwork between US 287 and Ethete. The first phase of asphalt paving was completed in November 2019, with final paving, chip sealing, and seeding scheduled for the following spring.[4]

The project included grading, drainage improvements, milling of asphalt pavement, placement of gravel layers, and installation of approach pipes and cattle guards. A pedestrian pathway between Ethete and Wyoming Indian High School was also scheduled for paving. The work was carried out by High Country Construction, Inc., based in Lander.[4]
