The Green River Tunnel on I-90 near Green River has reopened after a tragic accident and fire last month, where three people died and five were injured. The Wyoming Department of Transportation has implemented an eight-foot, six-inch restriction in the tunnel for safety. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and Wyoming Highway Patrol is still investigating the crash.
An additional fatality has been confirmed, bringing the total deaths to three. The accident involved 26 vehicles and resulted in the destruction of several vehicles. The Wyoming Department of Transportation has contracted DeBernardi Construction to manage traffic through the eastbound tunnel, with restrictions on vehicle size.
