WALLACE –– Shoshone County has received additional funding to cover the costs of clearing a rock slide that has blocked off the road over Moon Pass.
Shoshone County Public Works Director Jessica Stutzke announced on Monday afternoon that the county will be using the funds to bring in additional equipment that will aid work crews in getting the road open.
“Our goal is to clear the slide as safely and as quickly as possible,” Stutzke said. “As of now, our plan is to break the rock down into smaller sizes so we can get it moved to a staging area and out of the roadway. What the pictures of the slide do not accurately portray is the tremendous amount of rock and the size of the rocks that we are dealing with.”
