Commercial truckers are urged to use extreme caution on Highway 50 over Monarch Pass as the only existing eastbound truck ramp is closed through October.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is performing repairs on the emergency truck ramp four miles east of the summit. The runaway truck ramp will not be operable during the entire construction phase.
Additionally, the Colorado State Patrol will oversee intermittent brake inspections and safety checks of commercial motor vehicles near the summit to warn truck drivers of the ramp closure.
