Bridges Still Closed

August 30, 2009 By frenchy

Boaters, the clean up is going well- they have 50% of the tar bagged and tagged. However, the remaining 50% (including what’s on the near shore where the truck came to rest) will take the remainder of the week to clean up. The EPA is “hopeful” they can finish the clean-up and open the river for recreation (and drinking water for Ft Collins and Greeley) by the Labor Day weekend. As soon as I hear news I will relay it to you.

In the mean time, the canyon will remain cool today- highs in the upper 60’s, maybe touching the low 70’s- partly cloudy and late afternoon thunder showers. Have fun and be safe.

Per Larimer County Sheriff, CDOT, Forest Service and EPA, the Bridges Run will remain closed until further notice. As soon as something changes I will let you all know. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Bridges Run Update

August 27, 2009 By frenchy

I am still looking for the official word on the status of the Bridges Run closure. In the mean time, check out boater/PFA Capt. Kelly Close’s images of the scene to see the severity of the situation at http://flickr.com/gp/kclose/H947K6. As you can see from the photos, our beloved River is majorly contaminated. All early reports anticipate a long clean-up.

Bridges Run CLOSED Today, 8/26

August 26, 2009 By frenchy

CDOT, Colorado State Patrol and the US EPA have suspended all river activities between mile marker 113 (Bridges Put-In) and mile marker 117 (just below Filter Plant Put-In), today to facilitate clean up from a Hazardous Materials spill in the river just above Killer Bridge. Please do not attempt to boat, fish or do any other activities in this area. This is a very serious spill, and the EPA, CSP and CDOT will be monitoring the area. It is unknown how long the clean up will take. I will keep you posted as I learn more.
