County Road 333 closed indefinitely due to heavy rains

Persistent heavy rains over the past several days have caused multiple road closures throughout La Plata County, with County Road 333 facing an indefinite closure due to significant erosion damage.

County Road 333 is closed indefinitely near 1352 CR 333 and motorists must find alternate routes. The closure is the result of a washed-out road caused by excessive water flow. The La Plata County Road and Bridge Department will assess the damage to determine a timeline for when repair work can be completed.

With heavy rains continuing to be forecasted, officials remind the public to drive carefully. Motorists are urged not to drive through standing water, to watch out for mud and debris slides, and to drive slowly as roads may be slick with mud.

Updates regarding County Road 333 and other weather-related impacts will be shared as new information becomes available from the La Plata County Road and Bridge Department.
