2021 Road Closure

Routt County Replacing Culverts On County Road 33 Near Cow Creek Area

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO, August 2, 2021 – County Road 33 is still closed due to the replacement of the culverts that convey Cow Creek under CR 33.  The contractor has run into some unexpected delays in the replacement of the South Culvert.  The road is scheduled to be closed until August 13th. It will open temporarily for the weekend.  Then, CR 33 is anticipated to closed again starting August 16th for three more weeks until the middle and North Culvert can be replaced.  These dates are subject to change due to weather and material delivery.

Anyone trying to access the other side of the construction site should use CR 41 to CR 43 or CR 179 to CR 33B.

Morgan Creek Fire

The area closure pertains to all public use, and utilizes National Forest boundaries, roads, trails, and natural features such as lakes, creeks, and mountains. Specific area closure boundaries are detailed within the Forest Order.

Roughly, the closed area goes from the National Forest boundary on the west near Clark, Colo. in Routt County; north to Big Agnes Mountain; east over the Continental Divide to the National Forest boundary in Jackson County near Red Canyon; and south to Mount Ethel.

Closures include a large section in the middle of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness, a section of the Continental Divide Trail, all Forest Service recreation sites along the Seedhouse corridor, including campgrounds, trailheads, and the Seedhouse Guard Station. Forest Road 400 is closed where County Road 64 enters National Forest. Forest Roads 440, 442, and their associated spur roads are also closed.
