The interim detour road is slated to open midday today around the Big Fill landslide at milepost 12.8. The 24-7 rebuilding effort was the most notably effective response to a mountain roadway closure in recent WYDOT history. The reconnected highway will restore normal travel times for Jackson’s commuter workforce, as well as tourists visiting the Greater Yellowstone region. Governor Gordon also thanked Senator Barrasso and Senator Lummis for underscoring the need for emergency funding and said WYDOT is working diligently on the next steps for a full rebuild, keeping motorist safety paramount.
