DENVER — The Colorado Department of Transportation announced Saturday it has identified a path forward on temporary repairs for a closed bridge on US Highway 50 located west of Gunnison.
The high-strength steel bridge that serves as the only direct connection between Gunnison and Montrose was closed Thursday after an inspection revealed cracks in the structure. The technical structure name for the bridge is K-07-B and crosses the Blue Mesa Reservoir at Dillon Pinnacles. It’s located in Gunnison County.
There are only two bridges made of this type of steel in the state of Colorado, according to CDOT Chief Engineer Keith Stefanik.
