Wyoming Highway 412 (WYO l412), also known as the Carter–Lyman Road and previously as the Cater Cutoff Road, is a 24.73-mile (39.80 km) state highway in Uinta and Lincoln counties in western Wyoming, United States, that connects Interstate 80 (I-80/Dwight D. Eisenhower Highway), northwest of Lyman, with U.S. Route 189 (US 189), south of Kemmerer..

Route description[]

WYO 412 begins at the Carter–Mountain View Interchange (a diamond interchange) on I-80 (Exit 39), which is part of the Lincoln Highway, in northeastern Uinta County, about 0.4 miles (0.64 km) north of Blacks Fork and 2.4 miles (3.9 km) north of the western extreme western end of Lyman. (From the interchange Wyoming Highway 414 heads south toward Urie, Mountain View, Lonetree, and McKinnon; and ends at the Utah State Line. I-80 heads east toward U.S. Route 30 [US 30], Little America, and Rock Springs. I-80 heads heads west toward US 189, Evanston, and Salt Lake City, Utah.)

From its southern terminus, WYO 412 heads north–northwest for about 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to connect with the eastern end of the 0.3-mile (0.48 km) access road to the .

(CR 231 heads southeasterly to end at the Fort Bridger Interchange on I-80, where it connects with north end of Wyoming Highway 413. The road heading west from the intersection provides access to the fields beyond the fence line.)^[3]

Over the next mile (1.6 km) WYO 412 curves more to the west for a northwesterly heading before reaching the eastern end of (CR 230) at a T intersection. (CR 230 heads westerly for about 1.6 miles [2.6 km] to the .) Continuing northwesterly for about 3.3 miles (5.3 km) WYO 412 connects with the northern end of before crossing over (also known as Big Muddy Creek).

(Carter is the only community along WYO 412.) About 13.3 miles (21.4 km) farther along its northwesterly course, WYO 412 leaves Uinta County and enters Lincoln County.^[3]

About one-half mile (0.80 km) after entering Lincoln County, WYO 412 passes though the (a gap between The Hogsback^[4] on the south and the ^[5] on the north).
