Spring Road Restrictions in Effect 

As warmer temperatures arrive, Gunnison County is implementing seasonal weight limits to protect our roads during spring thaw conditions. These restrictions help prevent damage and ensure safe, long-term use for everyone.

Beginning March 17, 2026:

• CR 734 (Slate River Road): 15-ton limit from CR 317 (Gothic Road) to the end of winter maintenance at the trailhead
CR 38 (Gold Basin Road): 10-ton limit from Bambi Parking Area south to the Saguache County line

 Restrictions will be lifted as conditions improve (Gold Basin no later than May 15). Questions? Gunnison County Public Works: 970-641-0044

Thanks for helping protect our roads and keep Gunnison County moving this spring!
