US-189 Avalanche

 U.S. 189 through Provo Canyon remains closed Friday afternoon as crews clear a massive Avalanche. Utah Department of Transportation crews worked through the night to clear the avalanche that was 30 feet deep in spots. Crews triggered the avalanche as part of avalanche control efforts Thursday evening, according to UDOT. The slide is one of the largest UDOT crews have seen, according to spokesman John Gleason. He tweeted that the force of the slide was “staggering.” Crews reported cleaning it up is “like moving concrete… dense, wet and full of debris.” Photo: John Gleason UDOT
