CR 108 bridge closing to all traffic Tuesday, May 26

PRESS RELEASE
May 22, 2026
Garfield County is closing the bridge over the Crystal River on County Road 108 (Thompson Creek Road) near Carbondale to all traffic on Tuesday morning, May 26. The closure is to ensure worker safety and the safety of the traveling public following an accident that occurred on Friday involving vehicle traffic.
The bridge is being repaired after corroded decking and joints were discovered after a large pothole appeared on the structure in April. Crews are currently clearing the bridge deck of asphalt in the damaged lane and removing concrete from the bottom of the north wall of the bridge. This closure comes a week earlier than the originally planned closure.
