Construction is ongoing for the Browns Canyon National Monument road widening project, leading to closures impacting both drivers and water enthusiasts.

  • Chaffee County Road 300 is currently closed at mile marker 2 as crews work to expand the roadway.
  • Additionally, the Arkansas River is closed to public use from Fisherman’s Bridge to the Ruby Mountain Campground, affecting recreational activities like rafting and fishing in this section.

Work in the area is expected to continue through December, with local authorities urging caution and adherence to closure notices for everyone’s safety.
