Wyoming Highway 51 is a 24.79-mile (39.90 km) long east-west Wyoming state highway located in Campbell and Crook Counties, between Gillette and Moorcroft.
Wyoming Highway 51 travels from the eastern outskirts of Gillette at an interchange with I-90/US 14/US 16 (Exit 128) and the eastern terminus of I-90 BUS east to the town of Moorcroft. Highway 51 travels east, passing through the communities of Wyodak and Rozet, south of the Campbell County fairgrounds [1], coal mines, and south of Wyodak power plant.
