Highway collapsed in Wyoming after landslide

A landslide caused the collapse of a major roadway at Teton Pass in Wyoming on Saturday 8 June.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation responded to reports of a crack in some areas of the road last week.

Authorities patched the affected segments, but mudslides in other areas forced a full closure of the highway. As workers tried to build a detour, the landslide continued to progress and led to a full collapse of the roadway – a key artery between Idaho and Wyoming.
