Excessive water in Coal Creek Canyon west of metro Denver has overflowed its banks and was spilling throughout Colorado 72, prompting state transportation officers and the Nationwide Climate Service to situation alerts.
The Coal Creek flooding was creating issues alongside the freeway between Cattle Tail Street and Crescent Park Drive, from Mile Level 17 to Mile Level 18, Colorado Division of Transportation officers stated.
Whereas the street has not formally been closed, motorists are suggested to keep away from the world.
⚠Heads up. Water is flowing over Freeway 72 in Coal Creek Canyon between Cattle Path Street and Crescent Park Drive (Mile Level 17 to Mile Level 18). Reported by @ColoradoDOT and public. Greatest to keep away from this space if doable in the present day. #COwx https://t.co/0ZzUtcPZMn
