What this Wyoming road closure looks like on a Google map
A “catastrophic failure” of Wyoming Highway 22 over Teton Pass overnight Friday has washed away a huge section of the lifeline corridor between Jackson, Wyoming, and Victor, Idaho, the Wyoming Department of Transportation reports.
No vehicles were on the road as it had been closed earlier Friday because of a mudslide.
Road troubles began Thursday after a large crack stretching across both highways was spotted in the road.
A significant portion of the highway at milepost 12.8 has collapsed into the ravine below, while significant portions of the remaining road are cracked and tilted, WYDOT reports, adding that the road faces a long, indefinite closure.
“We're looking at a few weeks, at the very least,” Stephanie Harsha, a spokeswoman for WYDOT District 3, told Cowboy State Daily on Saturday morning
