Hwy 285 re-opened after semi clean up

The semi that ran off the road a couple of days ago was cleaned up tonight requiring shut-down of Hwy 285 near Grant for a couple of hours. Park County Sheriff just announced that it is re-opened.

Drivers still fuming after being stuck on Highway 285 for hours

Both Harroun and Kurtz contacted the FOX31 Problem Solvers wondering why the highway would be shut down on such a busy night and also why drivers weren't given a heads up.

CDOT can authorize the closure of a major highway, but a spokeswoman said it never thought the work would last several hours.

It will also review with the Colorado State Patrol why drivers weren't notified or kept informed about what was happening.
