Wyoming highway officials hope to finish work this winter on a bridge to replace one destroyed in a washout that killed four members of Colorado family. A flash flood on July 19th washed out a section of Wyoming 130. The family's camper van ran into the breach as they fled a nearby campground in the middle of the night. A temporary, one-lane bridge has been used since the flood. The design for a permanent, replacement bridge is almost complete, and the project is on schedule. Ross Doman, a spokesman for the Wyoming Department of Transportation, said the best-case scenario is to finish work before the snow gets too heavy. Otherwise, the work will have to wait until after the water levels drop after the spring runoff.
