A rock slide that occurred on Saturday night in the Wind River Canyon shut down US20/WY789 for nearly 4 hours so now, as a way to prevent similar situation from occurring, an $8.78 million project is set to resume earlier than expected.
Photos suggest that traffic was backed up for quite a while. And when the Powell Panthers Varsity Boys Soccer Team were coming back from a came and saw the situation, they did the only thing that made sense.
The Thermopolis Police Department, as well as the Wyoming Department of Transportation announced that, as of 6:51 p.m., Highway US 20/WY 789 is closed due to a rock slide.
