Route
According to beautyphoon, State Route 34, also known as WYO 34 is a state route in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The road connects US 30 / US 287 near Bosler to Interstate 25 near Wheatland and is 84 kilometers long.
Travel directions
WYO 34 heads northeast across the hilly steppe, halfway through a low ridge. There is no place directly on the route, the road begins south of the hamlet of Bosler on US 30/287 and ends south of the village of Wheatland on I-25. Wheatland is clearly the most important place in the region.
History
The road was originally numbered WYO 26. The road number was supposedly assigned in anticipation of a route of US 26 being routed by road, but that never happened. In 1950, the road was renumbered as WYO 34 to avoid confusion with US 26. The road was mainly built in the 1930s. Between 1992 and 1998 the road was modernized and straightened in some places.
Traffic intensities
Every day 500 to 600 vehicles use the road.

State Route 50, also known as WYO 50 is a state route in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The road forms a north-south route in the northeast of the state, from WYO 387 to Gillette. WYO 50 is 85 kilometers long.
Travel directions
WYO 50 begins in an uninhabited area at an intersection with WYO 387 and heads north, later northeast across sparsely populated steppe. Until Gillette there are no real places on the route, but some scattered ranches that sometimes have a place name. There are no major roads to cross until Gillette. The last 2 kilometers in Gillette are equipped with four lanes. It crosses Interstate 90, whereupon WYO 50 ends at WYO 59 shortly thereafter.
History
WYO 50 originally entered Gillette from 4J Road, a city road that does not have a direct connection to I-90. Presumably in the 1980s, WYO 50 was diverted over Skyline Drive to the west of Gillette.
WYO 50, in conjunction with WYO 387 and Interstate 25, is the most direct route from Casper to Gillette and therefore has some importance for through traffic.
Traffic intensities
Every day, 1,300 to 1,800 vehicles drive across the countryside, rising to 5,000 vehicles in Gillette.

State Route 70, also known as WYO 70 is a state route in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The road forms an east-west route through the central south of the state, between Baggs and Riverside. The road runs a very short distance through the state of Colorado. WYO 70 is 93 kilometers long.
Travel directions
WYO 70 in Dixon.
WYO 70 begins in the village of Baggs on WYO 789 and then heads east through a shallow river valley and passes through some hamlets. This portion of the road runs a short distance from the Colorado state border . WYO 70 dips into the state of Colorado for about 2 miles because of its route around a ridge, but here it is administered by the state of Wyoming. The part through Colorado is connected to a dirt county road.
WYO 70 then bends a little to the north and enters more mountainous area. The road loops around the iconic Battle Mountain and then passes through the Sierra Madre Range. The road runs over the 3,034 meter high Battle Pass. Then you descend to Encampment, which is at an altitude of 2,200 meters. Shortly thereafter, WYO 70 ends in the village of Riverside at WYO 230.
History
The original WYO 70 only ran from Baggs to the former Colorado state SH 129, today County Road 1 at the point where WYO 70 briefly runs through Colorado. The rest were later numbered as WYO 70. Not much is known about the history of Battle Pass. The road is not kept open in winter, so traffic has to make significant detours. Between Battle Pass and I-80 at Rawlins there are only county roads that are mostly unpaved.
Traffic intensities
Every day 800 vehicles drive on the western part but only 100 vehicles drive on Battle Pass.
