Pitkin County road and bridge crews have been working to clear county roads of snow and reopen them for the summer after a big, snowy winter.

The upper part of Castle Creek Road from Ashcroft to the end of the pavement, where the unpaved road towards Pearl Pass and Montezuma Basin begins, reopens today.

Maroon Creek Road from T Lazy 7 to the Maroon Bells is scheduled for snow removal the week of June 2. Due to the heavy snowfall this year, Pitkin County and the U.S. Forest Service have decided to let the snowpack melt naturally to reduce damage to the road. Officials will monitor weather and road conditions weekly to determine an opening date.
