A catastrophic landslide has caused the collapse of a crucial section of Wyoming Highway 22 over Teton Pass, leading to an indefinite closure of the road. The landslide occurred overnight on Friday, June 8, and has disrupted a key artery linking Jackson, Wyoming, and Victor, Idaho. The Wyoming Department of Transportation reported that a significant portion of the highway was washed away, creating a gaping chasm. This route is vital for commuters and commerce, especially as the area enters its summer tourism season. Efforts to repair a crack were already underway when the landslide struck on Saturday morning, but no crew members were injured. The closure is expected to have a significant impact on local businesses and employees, and a temporary detour is being planned by authorities.
