During this fall's bridge closure in Glenwood Springs, we are encouraging our guests driving from Denver to take the alternate route to Aspen over Independence Pass. Here are the directions:
- I-70 West to Copper Mountain (Exit 195)
- Take exit 195 onto S. Hwy 91 and follow the road to Leadville. Hwy 91 merges with Hwy 24. As you drive through Leadville, you are now on Hwy 24
- Follow Hwy 24 past Leadville to the turn off to Twin Lakes (Hwy 82)
- Turn right onto Hwy 82 - this is a T-intersection, there is no left turn
- Hwy 82 will take you up and over Independence Pass and down into Aspen
- Once in Aspen, continue straight through the four-way stop. The road becomes Cooper Avenue
- Aspen Square's lobby entrance is at 617 E. Cooper Avenue, a half block past City Market on the left
