Independence Pass on Colorado Highway 82 is closed for the season.
Closure gates will be closed near Aspen and Twin Lakes. The safety closure is to keep maintenance equipment and the traveling public safe during the winter season.
The alternate route is to take Interstate 70 to Glenwood Springs, the Highway 82 to Aspen.
The Colorado Department of Transportation typically reopens the pass on the Thursday prior to the Memorial Day weekend, weather permitting.
