8/19/2010: Last Friday ACC announced the beginning of full closures of US 550 at Bear Creek Bridge, Sunday – Thursday from 8 p.m. – 6 a.m. These closures are intermittent and depend greatly on the weather. Going forward please look for a brief email alert if we intend to keep the road open on a previously scheduled closure night. As noted below, US 550 will remain open now until Sunday night.
******
From Ouray you will be able to drive up until the amphitheatre. Any point beyond that will not be accessible, including the overlook, during these nightly closures. Please note, however, the full closure is only from 8 p.m. - 6 a.m. The overlook, however, is closed full time until late October. If you wish to drive from Silverton to Ironton you will be able to make that drive during the road closure.
As for the shut down, it is a shutdown for the winter is of the project not the highway.
