First Road Closure Of The Season: Beartooth Highway Shut Down Due To Snow
U.S. Route 212 between Wyoming and Montana closed Friday because of “winter weather and road conditions." It's expected to reopen on Saturday, but is a sign winter is closing in on Wyoming’s high country.
While the ground was still warm enough in most areas that the snow melted soon after it fell, the Beartooth Highway, which is 10,947 feet at its highest point is, its own animal.

“There were probably some fairly low temperatures up high,” Cody Beers, a Wyoming Department of Transportation spokesman, told Cowboy State Daily. “So, there was probably some icing on the roads, and the ground temperature was already reasonably low because it gets colder up there at night. It’s fall up high.”

There has never been an official closure date for the Beartooth Highway, which stays open each year as long as possible. Once the snow starts falling consistently and heavily, the highway is closed for the season until plowing begins the following spring.

Beers believes this will be a temporary closure and the highway will reopen Saturday. He also thinks it will stay open for a few more weeks before its seasonal closure, but it’s risky to trust the weather at that elevation at this time of year.

“From my experience, it could be next week or another month,” he said. “Normally, I’d say the Beartooth Highway is closed for the season by early November. It all depends on the weather.”

Just the calm before the storm . When millions more of these border jumpers streaming across the border end up with CDL’s because of the “driver shortage “ and the desire for cheap labor. The true free fall will begin.You think truck stops look like third world refugee camps now?
Just wait…….
