LUSK – A temporary bridge is now open and carrying traffic on US 85 over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks in Lusk.
The bridge is carrying two lanes of legal-load traffic. Any traffic that has an oversize or overweight permit must use WYO 270 through Manville and Lance Creek to bypass Lusk.
There is no pedestrian access across the bridge.
