Greeley County Road and Bridge is providing an update regarding the bridge on County Road 24, just north of K-96.

The bridge sustained significant erosion as a result of flooding and was inspected by an engineer today. Following the inspection, the bridge was deemed unsafe and will remain permanently closed for an estimated 6–9 months while the county works to address the damage.

We understand that this closure will create challenges and inconvenience for many in our community. The county appreciates everyone’s patience, understanding, and cooperation as we work through this difficult situation and determine the best path forward.

🚧 PLEASE NOTE:

* The bridge is closed and deemed unsafe.

🚧 GREELEY COUNTY BRIDGE UPDATE – COUNTY ROAD 24 - BRIDGE IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 🚧

From the Office of Emergency Management and KDEM

Greeley County is providing an update regarding the bridge on County Road 24, just north of K-96.

The bridge has sustained significant erosion as a result of flooding. An engineer will be on-site Monday to inspect the bridge, assess the extent of the flood damage, and determine what repairs or other corrective measures will be necessary.

The inspection will help identify the appropriate next steps to address the damage and ensure the bridge can be safely and properly repaired.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work through the assessment process and determine the best course of action.

Please use caution when traveling in the area and follow any posted signs or traffic restrictions. We will share additional information as it becomes available.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep Greeley County safe. 🚧

We’re asking for a little more patience and understanding for our Road and Bridge crew as they continue assessing roadway damage with assistance from KDEM. These assessments need to be completed accurately so repairs can be planned and done correctly.

We know the timing is especially difficult with harvest underway and drilling needing to get done. We understand that road conditions and
delays create real challenges for producers, families, and businesses.

Please do not take matters into your own hands or attempt to “help” by working on the roads yourself. While your intentions may be good, unauthorized work could expose you to significant liability, interfere with damage assessments, and jeopardize eligibility for state assistance. It could also complicate or delay repairs to the affected area. Please leave roadway assessments and repairs to the authorized crews.

While these circumstances are outside our control, we remain focused on what we can do: work through the assessments, identify the needed repairs, and keep moving forward. Please give our crews the time and
space they need to do this work safely and thoroughly.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and support as we work through this together!

Make sure to cover any tender vegetation tonight as a strong cold front is expected to create ideal conditions for frost and freezing temperatures. Lows are expected in the 20s and 30s across our area, which could kill new plants.
