Boulder, CO – Boulder Canyon is closed at mile marker 32.1 Sunday night after a Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus slid off the roadway and became stuck, according to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials said RTD recovery crews are on scene working to remove the bus, and the closure will remain in effect until the vehicle is recovered and the roadway cleared. Drivers are advised to use Sugarloaf Road as an alternate route for travel up or down the mountain.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, road conditions throughout the canyon are “poor,” with snow-packed and slick surfaces making travel hazardous. Drivers are urged to slow down, increase following distances, and be prepared for delays.
Authorities also reminded motorists to ensure vehicles are winter-ready and to carry water, food, and warm clothing in case of extended delays or temporary closures.
The Sheriff’s Office said updates will be provided as conditions change and once the roadway reopens.
