Massive chunk of Wyoming's Teton Pass crumbles; unclear how quickly the road can be rebuilt

A massive chunk of the meandering Teton Pass has collapsed, leaving a gaping dirt gash along the mountain pass that is a critical link between small eastern Idaho towns and the tourist destination of Jackson, Wyoming. Authorities Saturday said the road was closed at the time the section of road fell away. The closure came amid ongoing concerns with a crack and drop in the road that first drew attention Thursday following a motorcycle crash. It’s unclear how long it will take to rebuild the road, which is a commuter route for people who work in pricey Jackson but live across the border in Idaho.
