Hazardous Material Spill

US-36 near Apple Valley Bridge

Earlier this afternoon, a tanker truck rolled over on US-36 at the intersection of Apple Valley and Blue Mountain Road.

The Boulder County HazMat crew is on scene and working to mitigate any fuel spill hazards. Lyons Fire as well as partner agencies are on scene as well to assist, and are also staged at the Fire Station for any additional district needs. 

Boulder County Sheriff's Office is on scene and anticipates that the road will be closed for a while. For anyone needing to travel to the Town of Lyons via US-36, it is recommended that you plan on using State Highway 7 for the immediate future.

Lyons Fire Protection District and/or Boulder County Sherriff's Office will update regarding the road opening when they have more information.

Thanks Lyons. Stay safe.
