Grand Avenue Bridge Could Reopen In A Couple Of Weeks

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - The end is near for a massive traffic nightmare in Glenwood Springs that's impacted traffic going to and from Aspen.

The Colorado Department of Transportation says the Grand Avenue Bridge should reopen early next month. That's sooner than the anticipated opening date the week of Thanksgiving.

Crews have been working on the bridge since August. That construction has created a lengthy detour for drivers who take Highway 82 to Aspen.
