Extended Bridge Closure on S.R. 95 West of Blanding

Cottonwood Wash Bridge on State Route 95 west of Blanding was closed for repairs but has since been reopened. A bridge evaluation team determined the collapse of sandstone at the footing of the east abutment was significant enough to close the bridge for public safety while UDOT pursued an...

Sounds like somebody's been doing some monkey wrenching!
 
Thanks for the heads up! It seems like an unnecessarily long stretch of road to close west of the bridge, especially as it cuts off access to a favourite camping spot of ours. That might be a moot point for us though, as the ongoing closure to land traffic from Canada with no announced opening date yet has us wondering if an October Utah trip is going to happen.
 
That makes more sense. This is what the link that Titans posted said:
"The current closure of State Route 95 extends approximately 28 miles from the Junction of U.S. 191 to State Route 261."
This is from the udot map:
"local travel either east or west of the Cottonwood Wash structure on SR 95 is allowed."
 
FYI- bridge has been repaired, road open again
