***END OF UPDATE***


At this time, the Kemmerer Port of Entry in Kemmerer, WY is full and commercial vehicle traffic on US 30 is backing up onto the highway. Weather-related road closures on I80 in Wyoming have resulted in a large number of truck drivers attempting to stop at the port in Kemmerer, however, there is no longer any room. Drivers traveling through Idaho en route to Wyoming on US30 or other highways in the area may want to avoid the area or park in an approved location before they encounter the delays.
