Concerns with Wyoming DOT Building a Detour Embankment before Completing Geotechnical Engineering

In this video, I provide a new update as to what Wyoming DOT officials are planning to address the catastrophic failure of an embankment fill section for Highway 22 (Teton Pass Highway) in Wyoming that occurred June 8, 2024. WyDOT officials have decided on a course of action to continue working on constructing an adjacent section of new roadway and opening it to traffic in just 2 weeks and they are a week in at this point. This aggressive time table is unlikely to provide sufficient time to determine the causes of the failure, access which areas of the highway embankment may also pose a risk of failure and to determine the best methods for resuming traffic flows. I provide details associated with the geotechnical engineering aspects of these issues.
