Is US 34 to Estes Park open?
|
That is all. Thanks! |
|
72(peak to peak) to 7 is the only way in or out. Just cruised up here tonight for a wedding tomorrow. Beautiful drive and no where near as long of a commute as I thought it was going to be. Turning leaves + fresh snow=kick ass Colorado senery |
|
A significant chunk of 34 is completely gone. Not damaged. Gone. 17miles I believe. Gonna be a while. |
|
Useful source...hopefully some of these roads open soon: maps.bouldercounty.org/road… |

Thanks! guess it's vedauwoo this weekend. |
|
yea 85% of the road from loveland to estes is considered "total loss". theres maybe a couple miles of sound road left in the whole 29 miles. Head south or north! |
|
CDOT is trying to get 34 and 36 reopened by Dec 1, some stretches may remain unpaved. |

I was on a media tour of the work they are doing on Hwy 34 last week. They have got quite a bit done. Actually about 3/4 of the work is done. The problem is the final 25%, they are having to completely rebuild the road through The Narrows section -- a 2-mile stretch. In many areas, they had to re-channel the river because it jumped and was flowing where the road used to be. |
