In October, an accident between a cement truck and belly dump semi-truck on the Green River bridge closed US Highway 351 east of Big Piney for several hours. Highway 351 is a major access road to and from the Jonah Field and Pinedale Anticline natural gas drilling fields and receives heavy truck traffic. Another accident just days later, occurred on the bridge on Boulder Creek on Highway 191. Fortunately, in both cases, there were no fatalities. The accidents brought more attention to safety concerns from the increased heavy truck traffic related to the booming oil and gas fields in Sublette County. More |
