US26/287 Closed to Public Travel due to Fish Creek Fire 09-02-2024
Publication Type: Announcement - 09/02/2024 - 15:47
The Wyoming Department of Transportation will close US26/287 west of Dubois about 4 pm today due to excessive smoke and limited visibility near the Fish Creek Fire on Togwotee Pass.
As of this morning, more than 15,500 acres had burned on the Fish Creek Fire. The fire has been very active today and continues to burn in a northeast direction. Hot winds, low humidity and higher-than-normal temperatures are helping the fire to advance near to US26/287 (Togwotee Pass).
The duration of the highway closure is not known at this time. If you’re able, make alternative travel plans. For road conditions, please go to wyoroad.info.
