The Colorado Dept. of Transportation has closed US 50 between County Rd. 26 and Red Creek Rd. (18 to 20 miles west of Gunnison) from mile point 136 to mile point 138 due to a safety closure on Blue Mesa Bridge. Plan to use alternate reroutes, which include limited, scheduled travel windows on CR 26. The County and CDOT just opened Kebler Pass as another alternative route.
If you are coming Westbound from Denver/Monarch/Salida and your final destination is Gunnison, this bridge closure will not impact your travel. This will only impact your travel if you are heading WEST from Gunnison or heading EASTBOUND to Gunnison from Montrose/Grand Junction.
We’ll post additional updates as we receive them. All details can be found HERE.
