Route description
WYO 216 begins its west end at an intersection with US 85 that is located 26 miles (42 km) northeast of the Interstate 25/US 85 split.[1] WYO 216 travels east intersecting Wyoming Highway 213 (Burns North Road) after just 3.4 miles (5.5 km).[2] WYO 216 continues east, passing through Albin between 15.83 and 16.18 miles (25.48 and 26.04 km).[1] At 16.47 miles (26.51 km), WYO 216 intersects the northern terminus of WYO 215. WYO 216 then continues east to CR 164 (State Line Road), located on the Nebraska–Wyoming state line, where it terminates.[2]
History
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
The entire route is in Laramie County. [3]
