Frisco, CO – Drivers in Summit County are facing delays this afternoon after a crash forced the closure of Highway 9 near milepost 80, just south of Frisco.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, the highway was shut down around 30 minutes ago due to the incident. Authorities are urging motorists to avoid the area and use alternate routes while crews respond and clear the scene.
The closure affects traffic traveling between Frisco and Breckenridge, a key connector for local commuters and visitors. No immediate details about injuries or the number of vehicles involved have been released.
The Colorado Department of Transportation recommends checking their official website for live traffic updates and information on extended delays or detours.
Drivers in the area should expect slower travel times and possible congestion as alternate routes absorb redirected traffic. Officials have not yet provided an estimated time for reopening.
