In an unexpected turn of events, a significant mudslide has closed Teton Pass. The closure is anticipated to last for the rest of the day as authorities assess the situation and begin cleanup efforts.
The mudslide occurred early this morning, following a night of heavy rainfall. The deluge of water loosened soil and rocks, resulting in a substantial flow that covered the roadway.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, but the blockage has created a major disruption for travelers and residents in the area.
Local authorities have quickly responded to the mudslide, deploying crews to the site to evaluate the damage and start the clearing process.
The safety of the public remains a top priority, and officials have urged individuals to avoid the area until it is deemed safe for travel.
