Colorado Transportation Department Estimates $65 Million in Flood Repairs
Historic flooding in Southern Colorado has caused widespread infrastructure damage, with the Colorado Department of Transportation estimating $65 million in repair costs following severe storms and up to seven inches of rainfall in parts of the region.
Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 28, 2026 —
Historic flooding in Southern Colorado has caused widespread infrastructure damage, and the Colorado Department of Transportation estimates repairs will cost $65 million. The flooding followed severe storms that brought as much as seven inches of rain to parts of the region.
The estimate gives a measure of the reported repair costs, but the available information does not specify which roads or other infrastructure were damaged, how many locations were affected, or how the total was calculated. It also does not identify when the storms occurred or provide a schedule for repairs.
The rainfall figure applies to parts of Southern Colorado; the specific locations where up to seven inches fell were not provided. No details were available about the duration of the rainfall or the extent of flooding at individual sites.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is the source of the $65 million estimate. The information provided does not say whether the figure is final, whether it includes all infrastructure damage, or whether other agencies have issued separate assessments. It also does not provide details about funding, road closures, or the status of any repairs.
With those details unavailable, the estimate remains the clearest reported measure of the financial impact. Further information would be needed to identify the specific damage, affected routes and communities, and the expected timeline for recovery.
