Flooding has prompted several highway closures across southwest and south-central Colorado today, Sunday, Nov. 1.
Motorists should be prepared for additional safety closures where significant flooding is creating roadway hazards. Flooding of streams and rivers is currently ongoing and expected to persist through mid-week. Safety closures may be extended even after heavy rains have subsided due to rising water levels and highway damage.
Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation area.
There are several roadways closed due to flooding, including:
US 160, Wolf Creek Pass through Town of South Fork (MP 157 to 187)
US 160, Downtown Pagosa Springs, no thru traffic Pike Drive to east of US 84 (MP 142 to 145)
US 160, Pagosa Springs to Bayfield (MP 104 to 136)
CO 172, Elmore's Corner through Ignacio (MP 8 to 24)
CO 151, Chimney Rock to Arboles (MP 27 to 30)
CO 112, Rio Grande Bridge in Del Norte

CO 17, New Mexico state line to Antonito (MP 0 to 39)
Follow local law enforcement and emergency agencies for information about evacuations and assistance.
Motorists are urged to avoid travel during flood warnings or flood watches if possible. If you must travel, avoid driving through flooded areas and never drive through closure gates or barricades.
