What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Historic flooding in Pagosa Springs damaged a natural gas supply line, forcing the temporary shutdown of the Quikrete Peak Materials asphalt plant in Silverthorne. The shutdown occurred after floodwaters ravaged the natural gas line, which led to service cuts for high-demand customers in Summit County. Due to the lack of other asphalt plants within roughly 70 miles, contractors are currently sourcing asphalt from a Quikrete plant in Fraser to continue paving projects.
