A bridge along Colorado Highway 12 just west of Trinidad collapsed Wednesday evening, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The bridge, near mile marker 47, is along a scenic byway that winds west from Trinidad up into the Sangre De Cristo mountains. It is about a mile and half west of the town of Weston, which is about 20 miles west of Trinidad.
The bridge collapsed shortly after 6 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
No one was injured, and state patrol dispatchers were not sure what caused the collapse. There had been concerns about the bridge’s stability in the past, dispatchers said.
