JACKSON, Wyo. (KIFI) - The Wyoming Department of Transportation has scheduled a closure of US 191/189 through Hoback Canyon for Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at 7:30 a.m. for avalanche infrastructure repairs and avalanche mitigation.

The closure is expected to last two hours, but results from mitigation efforts may increase or decrease that timeframe.

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