MEAD, Colo. (AP) - It could be a month before crews can begin repairing a rural Weld County road that was damaged last week during heavy rains that rolled through the area.

Weld County Road 5 was closed after a deep hole developed under the road.

According to the Longmont Times-Call (https://tinyurl.com/jwu3gkm), county officials closed the road after Highland Lake overflowed during prolonged rains and damaged it.

Weld County spokeswoman Jennifer Finch is warning drivers to not attempt to drive around the barricades because it isn’t safe.
