Delta & Gunnison Counties — A safety closure is in place for a section of Colorado Highway 133 located north of Paonia. The highway is closed in both directions from mile markers 14-19. The safety closure is due to a large sinkhole and road damage. Motorists are asked to avoid the area unless absolutely necessary. CDOT is pursuing temporary ways of safely reopening the roadway, but those options will be limited due to ongoing spring runoff and nearby terrain.

Please try to gather information about weather forecasts and anticipated travel impacts and current road conditions prior to hitting the road – visit cotrip.org
