Dillon Dam Road closed after ‘suspicious activity’ (COLORADO)
Authorities have closed Dillon Dam Road to traffic until at least early next week after “recent suspicious activity” later found to be non-threatening.
The incident involved two males using video equipment on the road while it was closed because of weather on Tuesday.
But investigation by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office and later by the FBI cleared the men, who said they were from Denver and were filming a music video on the dam.
The men were “very cooperative” with the deputies and agreed to show them the footage and have their vehicle inspected, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
After forwarding the information to the FBI, the federal law enforcement agency said it reviewed the matter, and no threat was identified.
Dillon Dam Road, however, remains closed.
Denver Water said it planned “to assess safety and security risks” early next week before deciding when the road might reopen. [snip}
Call me curious: the suspicious activity is “non-threatening”, but they’re still going to keep the road closed for several days to assess “safety and security”.
Music video? Right.

Looks like a wonderful vacation spot.
I think I’ll add it to my vacation list possibilities.
