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

WYO 132, known locally as the Blue Sky Highway,[2] lies entirely within the Wind River Indian Reservation.. 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]

History

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]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Fremont County. [1]
