BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- During President Joe Biden's visit to Boulder County, Highway 36 will be closed periodically Friday afternoon. Biden will tour the destruction left behind by the Marshall Fire and meet with some of the families who are impacted by the most destructive fire in Colorado history.
Boulder police tweeted that between 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Friday, U.S. 36 will be closed temporarily at different times in both directions. Drivers were urged to make alternate plans.
