Crews for the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) along with contract crews from Clean Harbors Environmental Services, are working daily to clean up operations in the westbound Interstate 80 tunnel near Green River this week.

Major debris has already been removed.

Currently, a single lane through the tunnel is open. It might be a while before the other is.

Crews are currently pressure washing and cleaning the tunnel walls and ceiling of black soot from all the smoke caused by vehicle fires.

Next they'll be removing the damaged lighting infrastructure in the tunnel.

The work is now scheduled to conclude by the end of next week.

Take your time driving through the tunnel.

WYDOT asks drivers to put down distractions, drive cautiously, and be aware of roadside workers and vehicles.

WYDOT engineers are confident in the structural integrity of the eastbound tunnel and its ability to carry traffic. The area is geologically sound, with no risk of catastrophic collapse in either tunnel. There is damage to the 1 ft 3 inch reinforced concrete liner and electrical lighting system within the westbound tunnel.

In total, WHP believes 26 vehicles were involved in the event: 10 passenger vehicles and 16 commercial vehicles. Six commercial vehicles and two passenger vehicles were completely destroyed by the fire.

The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting a parallel investigation of this crash. Questions about the NTSB investigation must be directed here. The NTSB released their preliminary report on the crash on March 19. It can be found here.

Traffic is detoured in head-to-head lanes through the eastbound tunnel. (WYDOT).
