Snow on road
Several of Colorado's summer roads typically open for the Memorial Day weekend, but heavy snow is causing some delays this year.

Trail Ridge Road

Officials at Rocky Mountain National Park said crews have been working to clear Trail Ridge Road since late April.

The goal was to open the road Friday, but it will not open Friday due to snow, sleet and low temperatures Thursday night.


Mount Evans Highway

Mount Evans Highway is scheduled to partially reopen on Friday.

CDOT is opening State Highway 5 only to Summit Lake. Because of high snowfall in May, crews have been unable to finish clearing the road to the summit of Mount Evans (14,264 feet).

CDOT said it expects the highway to be open to the summit on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30.
