El Paso County, CO – Drivers in eastern El Paso County are facing delays today after a crash shut down North Yoder Road, according to the Colorado State Patrol. The closure affects the stretch of roadway north of Highway 94, impacting travel for residents and commuters who rely on the rural connector.
According to Colorado State Patrol, the roadway was closed Wednesday during an active crash investigation. Officials did not immediately release details about the number of vehicles involved or whether any injuries occurred. Troopers are urging drivers to avoid the area while crews work the scene and document evidence.
The closure is expected to last for several hours, though no reopening estimate has been provided. Motorists traveling between Yoder, Ellicott, and communities east of Colorado Springs may experience longer travel times as they reroute around the shutdown.
Authorities advise drivers to check COTrip.org for real-time traffic updates, detour options, and progress on the investigation. Weather conditions were not listed as a factor at this time, but drivers in rural areas are encouraged to use caution in case of increased congestion on alternative roads.
Residents who live along North Yoder Road may still encounter law enforcement activity until the roadway fully reopens. Additional information on the crash is expected as investigators conclude their work.
