A landslide near Teton Pass in western Wyoming has caused the closure of Wyoming Highway 22, impacting the daily commutes of thousands of workers traveling between Jackson, Wyoming, and eastern Idaho. The landslide, which occurred over the weekend, resulted in both lanes of the highway collapsing into a ravine, leaving uncertainty about when the road will reopen.
While the closure of Highway 22 does not affect access to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, it is a critical route for commuters traveling between Jackson and eastern Idaho. The closure has forced commuters to seek alternative routes, adding significant time and distance to their daily journeys.
