Jackson, Wyo. — A large chunk of a twisting mountain pass road collapsed in Wyoming, authorities said Saturday, leaving a gaping chasm in the highway and severing a well-traveled commuter link between small towns in eastern Idaho and the tourist destination of Jackson.

Aerial photos and drone video of the collapse show the Teton Pass road riven with deep cracks, and a big section of the pavement disappeared altogether. Part of the guardrail dangled into the void, and orange traffic drums marked off the danger area. The road was closed at the time of the collapse.

Interesting update from a few days ago that I just ran across...

YouTuber Second-guesses WYDOT on Teton Pass Detour June 12, 2024 by Jackson Hole Radio Share Share Self-proclaimed Geotechnical Engineer Skeptical of Detour Plan

Some things to note...

No name or names on the byline.

The snotty headline.

The staff could easily have checked Jones's credentials and chose not to, or did and didn't mention what they found because it didn't support their narrative.

I've seen Jones' channel. He makes good sense to me. And if what passes for this station's reportage is any indication, Jones is onto something.

Note to WY residents and anyone using the Pass: You might want to check out Jones's channel for yourselves.

Here's a link...
