U.S. Highway 350 is closed between Beshoar Junction (US 250/US 160 intersection near Trinidad) and the U.S. 350/ CO 71 junction near La Junta due to the damaged bridge. Drivers should use CO 10 and Interstate 25 as the detour route between La Junta and Trinidad, per CDOT.
Construction is underway to replace the 87-year-old structure, which is ten miles northeast of Delhi. CDOT expects the highway to remain closed for a couple of days while repairs take place.
