JACKSON, Wyo. (KIFI) - The Wyoming Department of Transportation has scheduled a closure of Teton Pass for Thursday, January 6 at 12:00 p.m. for avalanche control.

Reduced visibility, winter driving conditions, and increasing avalanche hazard may force an earlier closure.

There will be no parking along WY 22 between the State Line closure gate (Milepost 17) and the Wilson WY closure gate (Milepost 7) beginning at 8 p.m. Wednesday. This will be strictly enforced.

Highway travelers and backcountry users are advised to plan accordingly.
