CDOT released this statement on State Highway 72 between State Highway 93 and State Highway 119. The Update is titled “Road Remains Closed for Travel” and reads:

Due to the extensive damage caused by the September flood, State Highway (SH) 72, Coal Creek Canyon, between SH
93 and SH 119 will remain closed to through traffic until the end of November 2013, weather permitting. After further assessment, crews determined that the roadway was too unstable to carry larger amounts of traffic during the repairs as approximately five miles of SH 72 sustained severe damage and is impassible. For the safety of work crews, emergency personnel and motorists, no commuter travel is allowed within the work zone while the repairs are underway.
• Local residents who live within the work zone may obtain access by providing proof of residency within the area. These specific residents may obtain
access to their property during shifts breaks for construction crews from
5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
• Local businesses outside the delineated work zone are open for business. Please check with the individual business for details.
