"Blue Mesa Reservoir Bridge Closed Indefinitely Over Safety Concerns"

The bridge along U.S. 50 crossing the Blue Mesa Reservoir in Colorado has been closed due to cracking in the T1 Steel used in its construction, leading to a lengthy detour for drivers. Inspectors found a crack in the steel girder midway through the bridge, and there is no estimate on when it will reopen or if repairs are needed. The recommended detour adds hours of travel time, and CDOT is exploring the feasibility of clearing local seasonal routes to reduce detour time for local travelers. While the closure impacts road travel, recreation on the Blue Mesa under the bridge is not affected, and travelers are advised to check COtrip.org for the latest road conditions.
