I-70 Concrete Slab Replacement Project
The Colorado Department of Transportation and contractor Myers & Sons will be replacing concrete slabs and guardrails on Interstate 70 from Mile Points 85.5-98 between West Rifle and Silt. Traffic impacts will consist of single lane closures up to one mile in length and work zones will be stretched out along the project length.
Currently, drivers should anticipate a westbound right lane closure from Mile Point 96-97 for planing of the bridge deck approach slabs. Starting April 24, there will be a westbound left lane closure Monday -Wednesday, at Mile Point 92.3-92 for guardrail replacement. The guardrail replacement work will then transition to the westbound right lane Wednesday-Friday, April 26-28. All work is weather dependent.
Work on this project is anticipated to be complete by the end of September. Work is scheduled Monday-Friday from daylight to dark. Some night work is anticipated to perform saw cutting operations.
The project team will stay in close contact with CDOT maintenance crews in the event of Interstate 70 closures in Glenwood Canyon. This coordination will help the project team prepare for detour traffic during I-70 closures. Once completed, the improved interstate surface will provide a safer and smoother driving environment.
