The annual winter closure of U.S. 14-A, west of Burgess Junction, is at milepost 76.04 on the Lovell side of the Bighorn Mountains. The seasonal road closure at Burgess Junction is just east of milepost 98.1.
WYDOT annually closes this 22-mile stretch of scenic mountain road in the Bighorn Mountains about Nov. 30 at the end of the fall hunting season. It usually opens for the summer by Memorial Day weekend.
