Wyoming — The Wydaho community is reeling as Teton Pass will be closed for an unforeseen timeframe due to a catastrophic road failure. This means commuters or people traveling between Idaho and Wyoming will have an extended commute. Teton County Commission Chairman Luther Props told WyoFile that the reopening timeline could be a few weeks or months.

I suggest a temporary bridge while they rebuild the surface around it, but I’m obviously not a road engineer.
