Flooding Closes Roads and Damages Bridges Reported
Debris cleared from the Evans bridge likely saved it as crews worked all day. A mistaken alarm and false reports of a six foot water wall caused panic. Flooding east of Kuner is expected from the South Platte and Box Elder Creek, with state routes under water or washed out. Reopenings for Colo. 52 and Colo. 66 are planned within days as bridges and approaches suffer washouts. Flooding impacts farmers delaying planting by two to three weeks with possible crop reductions. mountain snowpack adds risk. Telephone lines and cable facilities incur damage, with 200 to 300 rural customers without service. power utilities report minimal damage and some disconnections at trailer parks.
