The finishing touches are just around the corner for the historic and broadly supported Colorado River Connectivity Channel (CRCC). After having been talked about for decades, the CRCC, which has aquatically reconnected two segments of the Colorado River around Windy Gap Reservoir for the time since the reservoir was built in the 1980s, is heading into its third and final construction season, with work expected to wrap up this fall. 

In this new 5-minute video, Northern Water and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials discuss the ramping back up of construction, goals for the final construction season, and how fish have been successfully using the new channel since water first started flowing though it back in October.
