UPDATE: Teton Pass to close Monday at 2 p.m.

JACKSON, Wyo. (KIFI/KIDK) - UPDATE 11:45 a.m. The Wyoming Department of Transportation will be closing WYO 22 Teton Pass at 2 p.m. Monday for avalanche mitigation measures.

Windy conditions are creating snow loading issues, and WYDOT crews are working to clear the parking areas for the closure.

They are asking residents and motorists to help spread the word and clear the area.

ORIGINAL: The Wyoming Department of Transportation will close Teton Pass Tuesday morning at 3 a.m. for avalanche mitigation.

WYDOT advises, however, that other factors, including reduced visibility, winter driving conditions, and increasing avalanche hazard may force an earlier closure.

There will be no parking allowed at the summit of Teton Pass and Coal Creek beginning at 8 p.m. Monday. It will be enforced.

Travelers and backcountry users should make alternative plans.
