U.S. 50 Middle Bridge in Colorado reopens after seven-month safety repairs.

The U.S. 50 Middle Bridge over Blue Mesa Reservoir in Gunnison, Colorado, has fully reopened after a seven-month closure for repairs due to safety concerns. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) reinforced the bridge with 250 tons of steel plate and over 25,000 bolts. CDOT's Executive Director thanked the community for their patience. The nearby US 50 Lake Fork Bridge remains restricted to one lane but is expected to fully reopen in December.
