Windy Gap Bypass Groundbreaking August 23

We are so happy that after years of hard work, the Windy Gap Bypass is finally becoming a reality! This wonderful project will reconnect the upper Colorado river for fish and aquatic life, help restore natural sediment transport and reinvigorate the entire riparian environment for miles downstream from Granby.

Trout Unlimited was the lead organization in championing this project and shepherding it to a successful start. No one was more important in obtaining the $33 million in funding than Trout Unlimited attorney, Mely Whiting. Colorado US Senator Michael Bennet played a critical role in securing federal funding for Windy Gap Bypass. We’re proud to have Mely Whiting (below, right) and Michael Bennet (below left) fighting so hard to improve our local environment!
