Flooding closes streets, trail in Greeley

GREELEY — Flooding from the Poudre (POO’-dur) River has closed several streets in Greeley.

A section of a hiking and bicycling trail that runs along the river was also closed Tuesday because of the high water.

Melting snow has caused the river to rise to 8.9 feet, nearly a foot above flood stage.

The river isn’t expected to drop below flood stage until Thursday morning.
