On Friday afternoon on Highway 71 near Kimball where a U.S. Air Force Humvee burned has been determined clear and safe by 90th Missile Wing Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel.
Airmen from the 90th Logistics Readiness Squadron have worked with personnel on scene to safely remove the burned vehicle from the roadway, securing it to a transport vehicle.
Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the structural integrity of the severely burned vehicle, Airmen will convoy the vehicle back to base to ensure the safety of those on the roadway. Drivers along the I-80 westbound corridor between Cheyenne and Kimball may notice minor delays.
The area where the vehicle burned has been determined clear and safe.
The stretch of Highway 71 and Highway 88 that had been closed for the majority of the week reopened Friday afternoon.
