(OTERO COUNTY, Colo.) — The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) reported that Highway 50 is closed between Fowler and Manzanola on Wednesday, July 3, due to multiple power poles down.

Around 6:30 a.m., CSP posted that the downed power lines would cause an extended closure, estimated to be a minimum of 10 hours for safe cleanup. Drivers are advised also to avoid county roads due to flooding and use Highway 96 or Highway 10 instead.
