SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. — Dillon Dam Road will likely remain impassable through the weekend and possibly longer after a rock slide forced a closure on Sunday.

Summit County Community Impact Manager Sarah Wilkinson told Denver7 a mitigation crew has assessed Dillon Dam Road following the rock slide and outlined repairs.

“We expect the rock scaling work to begin tomorrow and to be completed throughout the rest of this week,” said Wilkinson. “Road & bridge crews would be able to begin cleanup of the site after that and work would take place over a few days.”
