US 50 Middle Bridge Openings Schedule
US 50 Middle Bridge Travel Schedule
The Colorado Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the full reopening of the US 50 Middle Bridge to two-way travel Wednesday, Nov. 13. The US 50 Lake Fork Bridge about five miles to the west will still be restricted to one lane of travel with work expected to finish in December.
Crews are still removing the temporary platform from beneath the Lake Fork Bridge and priming the steel for the final coat of paint that will be put on each bridge next spring when temperatures are warmer. This work should have minimal impact on traffic.
US 50 Lake Fork Bridge
The US 50 Lake Fork Bridge is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. with pilot car operations and alternating traffic. Extended flagging operations occur from 11:30 pm. to 6 a.m. seven days a week on the Lake Fork Bridge. Motorists should anticipate longer waits during these overnight operations. All legal loads and bicycles are permissible, but no overweight loads are currently allowed across the Lake Fork Bridge.

County Road 26 will remain open as a local detour as long as weather conditions permit.
