US 50 Middle Bridge Openings Schedule

US 50 Middle and Lake Fork Bridges 

Both lanes on the US 50 Lake Fork Bridge have reopened for two-way travel across the bridge on Friday, Dec. 6. The US 50 Middle Bridge reopened for two-way travel in mid-November so drivers will no longer need to wait for a pilot car escort when traveling between Gunnison and Montrose. Crews will return in the spring of 2025 when the weather warms up to paint both bridges. It's expected this work will only require single lane closures.
