BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON — A major wildfire prevention operation is happening up Big Cottonwood Canyon, and it won't be done anytime soon.

Crews have shut down one lane of traffic on state Route 190 for a few miles in the area where work is underway.

Once built, the wind farm will feed electricity into the transmission system.
