US 34 Closed March 4th-15th

The full closure of US 34 east of Estes Park for bridge replacement is now scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, March 4th (meaning Wednesday into Thursday), weather permitting. The closure will be in place for approximately 12 days until the evening of Monday, March 15th. During the closure, motorists will be detoured to US 36 through Lyons and over to US 287. Alternate routes on local or county roads will be available, but are not recommended. These roads have lower speed limits, no shoulders, and are more winding with switchbacks and much steeper grades. Chains or adequate snow tires may also be required at any time. Larimer County Road 43 (Glen Haven Road) will not accommodate vehicles over 40 feet in length due to steep grades and switchbacks.
