Mudslide Causes Teton Pass to Shut Down Twice in Two Days

JACKSON, Wyoming — An unexpected mudslide⁣ on Friday‍ morning has swallowed a⁢ significant section‍ of the Teton Pass, leading to its immediate closure‌ for all travelers until⁤ further notice.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation ‌reported that Wyoming Highway 22 at the Teton Pass was shut down at 4:18 a.m. Friday following ⁢a mudslide at milepost 15, in the vicinity of the scale house. The mudslide was so severe that it blocked both travel lanes.

A Facebook update from ⁣the department revealed, “Our crews have​ been tirelessly working to clear the ⁢debris, but additional​ material continues ⁤to flow into the roadway.” The department ⁢also‌ stated that there is currently no estimated time for ​the reopening of the pass.

Interestingly,⁢ the Teton Pass had already been closed on Thursday afternoon due to a large crack in the road ‍caused by a landslide. This second closure is now being used ‍as an opportunity by ⁢the crews to⁢ assess the temporary patch and movement at milepost 12.8.

According ‌to officials, the movement resulted in a crack and drop ⁤in the road, leading to unsafe driving conditions on‌ Thursday. Preliminary reports suggest that there has been additional movement in​ the ⁤crack since the repairs were carried out on Thursday.

The Wyoming⁣ Department of Transportation stated, “A more comprehensive investigation is ​underway, and more information will ​be available upon its completion.”

The department further⁤ added, “If our crews determine that the section of the roadway is unsafe for travel, the‍ closure could ⁣potentially continue ⁣even after ‌the cleanup of the mudslide at milepost 15.”

    with? I’m experiencing some minor security problems with my
    latest site and I would like to find something more secure.

    Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a
    blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice
    from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  6. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or
    vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from
    each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog
    by the way!
