Rampen · Colorado floodingPagosa Springs flood: Structures flooded, key U.S. 160 sections closedGeschreven 23 oktober 2026 om 13:14 UTCKijkenTranscript0:07Flood water has inundated several structures and kept numerous roads closed.0:11On October 23rd, we reported evacuations in the Wolf Creek area of southern0:16Colorado.0:17Flooding is now continuing across Archilletta County, where residents face0:20restricted road access, including closures on key sections of US-160.0:25The immediate question is when water will recede enough for officials to restore0:29access.0:30Pegosas Springs is named among places experiencing or likely to experience flooding.0:34The flooded building impacts are described across Archilletta County as a whole.0:38That leaves residents facing a countywide disruption with only some affected road0:42locations specifically identified.0:44Several structures remained flooded early this morning and numerous roads remained0:48closed.0:49Those descriptions don't give an exact building count or a complete closure0:52inventory.0:53The morning warning confirms that excessive rainfall flooding is continuing without0:58providing a fresh damage total.0:59Key sections of US-160 are closed because of hazardous water accumulation.1:04Town officials and the sheriffs strongly discouraged travel, especially between mile1:07markers 134 and 144.1:10They haven't specified every closed subsection or given a reopening time.1:13The highway advisory was issued at 5.30 this morning.1:16It identifies a hazardous stretch where key sections are closed rather than1:20declaring every mile between those markers impassable.1:23Drivers also face a separate closure on County Road 500, known as Trujillo Road.1:28Trujillo Road is closed 5.5 miles east of the Colorado 151 intersection near mile1:34marker 37.1:35The sheriff's notice on October 22 described the closure as lasting for the1:38foreseeable future with work scheduled next week.1:41That work schedule gives residents no reopening date.1:44Flooding hasn't been confirmed as the cause of this particular road closure, so it1:48can't be added to the flood damage count.1:50Mandatory evacuations were ordered on October 22nd for low-lying flood-prone areas1:54along four rivers.1:55Those are the San Juan, Rio Blanco, Navajo, and Piedra.1:59Residents were evacuated because of the flood threat.2:01The orders covered at-risk areas, including properties that might not yet have taken2:06on water.2:06The Red Cross announced an evacuation shelter on October 22nd.2:10At the Pagosa Lakes Property Owners Association Clubhouse.2:14It's at 230 Port Avenue in Pagosa Springs.2:16Current availability hasn't been confirmed, so that announcement alone doesn't2:20guarantee space there now.2:22Flood impacts were still being identified across the county at 5:30 this morning.2:26The county warning update followed at 5:32 with a scheduled expiration of 7:452:30Mountain Time.2:31A later warning carries a different deadline and a different coverage area.2:34The 549 extension runs until 8 this morning for western Archoletta County, southern2:39Hinsdale County, and southern La Plata County.2:42Whether it replaces that exact earlier county warning isn't clear.2:457:45, therefore, cannot be treated as the end of every warning affecting Archoletta2:50County.2:50Officials haven't confirmed that water has receded enough to reopen the restricted2:54roads or announced an end to the evacuations.2:57A warning's scheduled expiration doesn't reopen a highway.3:00The latest access advisory still leaves key US 160 sections closed with no confirmed3:05reopening timetable.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗Wie meldde watPunten die meer dan één medium melddeEvacuations along four
