Trail Ridge Road, the stretch of U.S. 34 that crosses Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park, closed to through vehicle traffic Friday for the winter. The National Park Service says the gates are at Many Parks Curve on the east side and the Colorado River Trailhead on the west side.
The closure does not shut all roads in the park. The agency says Bear Lake Road and Endovalley Road remain open in winter. Trail Ridge Road typically reopens to through traffic in the last week of May, weather permitting.
Trail Ridge Road cierra al tránsito de paso por el invierno
Trail Ridge Road, el tramo de la carretera federal 34 que cruza el Parque Nacional de las Montañas Rocosas en Colorado, cerró el viernes al tránsito vehicular de paso por el invierno. El Servicio de Parques Nacionales indicó que los puntos de cierre son Many Parks Curve, al este, y el inicio del sendero Colorado River, al oeste.
El cierre no afecta todas las vías del parque. Según la agencia, Bear Lake Road y Endovalley Road permanecen abiertas durante el invierno. Trail Ridge Road suele reabrir al tránsito de paso la última semana de mayo, si el tiempo lo permite.
