The Watchman River channel’s newest vid brought me here.

Drove on that road 2 days ago. It happened because of all the rain and flooding there. Plus, in winter, the highway is getting closed a lot from avalanches. It's very steep mountains. It's part of the Teton range.

​@signsofplay Alot of people who live in Victor, Id work in Jackson Hole. I know some kids who got a summer job and commuted to Jackson. By the end of the summer they all had more than 4k in their bank account. Atleast most people there own their homes.

This is a spectacular failure of engineering. When I was a kid my dad knew a guy at WYDOT who told stories of the civil engineer that designed the current roadway in the mid 60s. The engineer was apparently incompetent and had been fired from other engineering gigs before designing the pass.

I have traveled that route many times.

What was going on with the other side of the road? Maybe it contributed?

The pavement was already cracking and they were trying to build a temporary “work around”… and yes, possibly added more stress to the already weakened areas? Mother Nature prevails. We haven’t has any unusual amounts of rain or snow this spring… it was just time perhaps.

Obviously this type of thing is expected in mountain terrain...the true question is how long it will take to be repaired.

That is not something that was knocked off. That is something that had the rug pulled out from under it.

The report did not mention anyone injured or worse, so I hope that was the case.

@Quadrenaro

Ай бұрын

Yeah. The road was closed for some time before it washed out. I got a notification hours before the collapse that the pass was closed. Nobody injured, but some people who depend on this route will need to find new jobs, and may lose their homes. Jackson pays alot of money to workers in Victor who commute daily. I just woke up to this news. Fortunately I only go over the pass once a year or so, unfortunately, I was going over it next week. Luckily there is the Holbrook route to the south, and lesser known northern route just north of the Tetons.

There was a lot of fuss over the infrastructure bill. The proceeds will probably be spent more on replacing damage wrought by climate disaster than improving infrastructure to avoid. I can't imagine a government accomplishing both through better design or innovation.
