Shameless teaser image....
Yes, the portion of COBDR running from Lake City up to Buena Vista is greatly effected by the closure of Cottonwood Pass road. According to a guy at the Crested Butte visitor center, it'll remain closed for the rest of this summer and possibly next. Complete rebuild.
I made the mistake of going around via Tincup Pass. This eventually took me into St. Elmo and Buena Vista. Tincup pass is harsh going up on the west side (from Tincup - Taylor Park). Coming down the east side is pretty smooth. I suggest we find another way around since the pass route is a class A beating.
