EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — Drivers in the northern part of the county should be aware of a road closure that will impact their commute if they're used to taking County Line Road.
The El Paso County Government announced Tuesday morning that County Line Road will be closed for the next three days, weather dependent, while crews work to repair a section of the road that washed out.
The heavy rains have caused a need for the piper under the road to be replaced. The closure is between Monument Hill Road and Doewood Drive.
Here are the following detours that have been put into place:
- If you are heading east on County Line Road, you will be detoured south on Monument Hill Road to Highway 105.
- If you are heading west on County Line Road, you will be detoured south on Furrow Road to Highway 105.
News5 has a crew on the way to the closure to get a look at the damage and will update this article with images once we have them.
