DENVER ~ In a move to address the aftermath of a recent storm, Governor Polis has amended a 2024 Executive Order to include Montrose County in the disaster emergency for flooding and debris flow. The decision comes after the same storm system that caused damage in Ouray County also impacted a bridge in Montrose County, specifically CO 141 over the Dolores River.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is currently working to repair the damaged bridge before spring runoff, which could potentially cause a four-hour detour for residents of Norwood, Nucla, and Naturita. The amendment to the Executive Order will provide assistance to CDOT in securing federal funding for the necessary repairs.

The updated Executive Order can be found on the official government website.
