Route description

WYO 530 begins at the Wyoming-Utah state line at the north end of SR-43 on the southeast corner of the census-designated place of Washam. (SR-43 heads west through the town of Manila and on to end at the south end of Wyoming Highway 414.) From its southern terminus, WYO 530 proceeds north, paralleling the west side of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Green River. For this length, the highway is known as West Flaming Gorge Road.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) has invested a significant amount of time and money into improving the highway from Green River south to the border near Manila. The improved sections of WYO 530 have widened shoulders and more passing lanes, but are usually two lanes.

WYO 530 intersects no major highways along its 45-mile (72 km) route; however, it is a very scenic road, paralleling Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The reservoir is famous for its fishing, especially bass fishing, and has one of the largest shorelines in the state. It is the result of the Green River being dammed up near Dutch John, Utah.^[2]

When WYO 530 enters Green River, it becomes a five-lane highway named Uinta Avenue (two lanes each way plus a middle turn lane). In 1996, the WYO 530 bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad yards was widened from two to four lanes. On the north side of the bridge, WYO 530 comes to an end at I-80 BL / US 30 Bus. (Flaming Gorge Way).^[2]
