Bridge woes Curious what CDOT is up to as the bridge closure over Blue Mesa enters the third week? You can find out Tuesday evening, during a hybrid virtual/in-person meeting.  It's 6:30 - 8 p.m., in Gunnison, or by Zoom at  https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87860154317 As you know, the bridge was shut down for safety and structural reasons April 18, cutting off direct access between here and Gunnison, leading to a multitude of extreme concerns for students, businesses, medical patients, recreationists, ag/cattle producers, and the general public.  At last report, CDOT hadn't determined what the best course of action is for repairing the bridge — but its experts are working toward that as fast as is safely possible. (Determining what to do requires actual folks to be on and under that bridge, conducting testing.) Hopefully, CDOT will have more answers Tuesday. We share the worries of everyone affected here. I also must agree, though: It was better to find out this way, than after a bridge failure. Katharhynn, from the Newsroom — wishing you safe travels.
