WYDOT to close Teton Pass Thursday for avalanche control

JACKSON, Wyo. (KIFI) — Heads up for drivers heading over the Teton Pass. The Wyoming Department of Transportation will close the pass tomorrow, Thursday, March 2nd, at 10 a.m. For avalanche control.

There will be no parking between the closure gates after 8 p.m. Today.

WYDOT says poor visibility, winter driving conditions, and rising avalanche hazards could even force an earlier closure. The agency is asking backcountry travelers to stay clear of avalanche terrain north of the highway while crews are working.
