Rising Gros Ventre River threatens bridge

The Teton County, Wyoming Road and Levee Department has closed the Cattleman’s Bridge over the Gros Ventre River. The bridge, located on Spring Gulch Road (County Road 22-4) was closed to all traffic until further notice. Sheriff’s Office deputies said they saw structural changes to the bridge due to high flows from the Gros Ventre River. Road and Levee personnel closed the bridge immediately, after noting that key structural features had been compromised. Spring Gulch Road is also restricted to local traffic only south of King’s Highway and north of Lower Bar BC Road. There is no estimated time for reopening.
