A temporary detour around the dam at Medicine Creek Reservoir in Frontier County is allowing the Bureau of Reclamation to complete a spillway project and road repair.
The road over the dam, which is undergoing concrete repair, will be closed for approximately two weeks. To access Medicine Creek State Recreation Area around the south side of the reservoir from Road 407, guests should take Road 725 to Road 728.
