State Department of Transportation officials say Wyoming 70 in south-central Wyoming will probably close earlier than normal this fall. Part of the paved road washed out in May and it is a one-lane, gravel and dirt road in that area. WYDOT spokesman Ross Doman says that it will be difficult for snow plows to clear the stretch of road that isn't paved when it starts snowing.
So the plan is to keep the road open as long as possible in October and then close the road for the winter earlier than usual.
Doman says crews are working above the slide area in preparation for a new permanent two-lane road to be built next year.
