JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) - Officials in Jackson are hoping a mound of dirt and rock will stop a slow-moving landslide from destroying a two-story parking lot next to Sidewinders Tavern.
Crews with dump trucks spent Monday afternoon depositing earth fill while an excavator piled rubble in the parking structure’s first floor.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports (https://tinyurl.com/my5yo67 ) a survey marker behind the parking area has moved 4 inches in the last three days.
The slide began April 4 and the shifting ground has sheared one house in two. Four homes, two apartment buildings and several businesses remain evacuated while road damage has blocked access to about 30 other homes.
