Highway 210 - Happy Jack Road

Interstate 80/U.S. 30 Signage at the Happy Jack/Wyoming 210 interchange which leads to the Sherman Hill Summit Rest Area between Cheyenne and Laramie. This sign is completely typical of interstate entry signs in Wyoming, which differ from other states in that the place name is given in unmodified Series E rather than mixed-case Series E Modified and lowercase letters. Although Wyoming follows the standard outline for Interstate route markers, the specific outline of the U.S. route marker has radius curves which are exaggerated compared to the federally standardized shield.

Due to topography, Wyoming 210 actually starts its "eastbound" journey by traveling slightly northwest, then curving north and then east. This is the first route marker, which is located near Interstate 80's Summit Rest Area. This route marker faces traffic headed toward Curt Gowdy State Park just off the Summit Rest Area on Interstate 80/U.S. 30. This interchange is where Wyoming 210 has its western end, just before Interstate 80 travels west toward Laramie.
