Route description
Wyoming Highway 116 begins its southern end south of
U.S. Route 16 (2nd Street) at approximately 32.5 miles (52.3 km). Highway 116 turns northwest and overlaps US 16 for a short distance through Upton, before leaving US 16 for its own routing, along Ash Street, toward Sundance.[2]
Route 116 continues to travel northerly, but as it nears the
I-90 Business and U.S. Route 14 at the western edge of Sundance.[2] Exit 185 on Interstate 90 lies just west of Highway 116's northern terminus and Wyoming Highway 585 can be reached by turning east onto I-90 Business and U.S. Route 14 into Sundance.[2]
History
WYO 116 has had three major routings from 1926 to the present. The first routing of WYO 116 was commissioned around 1926 and was related to old
WYO 416). The first designation lasted only 10 years and was decommissioned in 1936.[3]
In 1936, US 116, WYO 116, and
WYO 520. In 1940, WYO 116 was revived to replace WYO 316 between Midwest–Edgerton and Gillette along modern day WYO 387 and WYO 59. This lasted until 1945, when the current routings of WYO 59 and WYO 387 emerged.[3]
