Highway 156 begins it western terminus at US 26/US 85 (Main Street) in Lingle, and from there WYO 156 proceeds due south as the western section runs north–south.[2][3] The eastern terminus of Wyoming Highway 157 is intersected a just under two-tenths of a miles. WYO 156 travels south, crossing the North Platte River at approximately 2 miles.[2] After crossing the river, WYO 156 begins to head in a more east–west direction and serves the southern bank of the North Platte River. Highway 156 again turns south, but then turns back east, and stays in an east–west direction for the remainder of its routing. WYO 156 comes to its eastern end at US 85/WYO 92 (Main Street) in the city of Torrington, in an area called South Torrington, just north of the US 85/WYO 154 junction.
