STATEWIDE NEWS RELEASE-

Colorado driver license offices currently unable to issue driver licenses, instruction permits and identification cards due to federal system issue

DMV is reaching out to affected customers to reschedule appointments

LAKEWOOD - Thursday, November 15, 2024 — The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles is currently reaching out to Coloradans who have an appointment at a State Driver License Office today to reschedule their appointment or offer alternative services due to a technical issue impacting all state and county driver license offices.

All state and county driver license offices are currently unable to issue driver licenses, instruction permits and identification cards due to an issue with the national Social Security Online Verification System (SSOLV). This system allows the DMV to verify Social Security numbers in compliance with REAL ID.

Online driver license and ID card services are also unavailable at this time.

Services currently available include knowledge tests for instruction permits, endorsements and commercial driver’s license permits, motor vehicle records and requests for a hearing.

Currently, there is no timeline for when in-office and online services will be restored. The DMV will provide updates via its social media pages and DMV.Colorado.gov/locations.

The DMV appreciates Coloradans patience as the Division works with its partners to restore services.

From CDOT-US 50 Middle Bridge in Gunnison fully reopens today
Work continues on Lake Fork Bridge for the next few weeks

Montrose, Gunnison and Hinsdale Counties — The Colorado Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the full reopening of the US 50 Middle Bridge to two-way travel Wednesday, Nov. 13.


Flagging and pilot car operations at this bridge are expected to end midday when both lanes will open for travel. The US 50 Lake Fork Bridge about five miles to the west will still be restricted to one lane of travel with work expected to finish in December.


“We appreciate the community’s patience and support throughout these past several months,” said CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew. “We know this bridge closure posed a very challenging situation for many people throughout southwest Colorado, and your resilience and understanding were crucial in helping us get to this point and we are pleased to have it open for business before winter shutdown.”


The US 50 Middle Bridge closed to all traffic April 18 to protect public safety after several cracks were observed during a special inspection. The repair process involved installing 250 tons of steel plate with over 25,000 bolts to repair the structure in areas that posed an imminent risk to structural integrity. Each steel plate bolted beneath the bridge is about 23 feet long, 2 ½ feet wide and 2 ½ inches thick and weighs about 9,000 pounds. Crews worked from a temporary scaffolding suspended from the side of the bridge to install the steel plate repairs. Initial repairs were completed to open the bridge to one lane limited traffic on July 3 with expanded traffic windows opened over Labor day.


By Oct. 16, all legal loads started traveling over the bridge in a single lane while the temporary work platform was removed from beneath the bridge.


Crews are still removing the temporary platform from beneath the Lake Fork Bridge and priming the steel for the final coat of paint that will be put on each bridge next spring when temperatures are warmer.


Both lanes across the US 50 Lake Fork Bridge are expected to open in December.

CDOT courtesy photo-Caption: Large steel plates weighing about 9,000 pounds each were installed beneath the US 50 Middle Bridge to help reinforce the structure.
