The Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT) paving contractor said Thursday that Silt's I-70 interchange at Exit 97 will get a fresh coat of asphalt overnight Sunday and Monday of this week. Entrance and exit ramps, as well as the bridge deck will all be repaired and paved starting on Wednesday evening. The milling work has been completed and the paving, which was scheduled for last week was re-scheduled.
Eastbound ramps will be completed on Sunday night and Westbound ramps Monday night. Motorists will be directed to other highway access points during those times and those directions.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is conducting the work through one of its contractors. New Castle and Rifle have had or will have similar work this fall.
The work will have full ramp closures at night during the work. Traffic will need to use alternate interstate exit and entrance access points during these closures. No more than two exit ramps will be closed at a time.
Ramps will be open during the day and drivers should anticipate rough driving surfaces on the milled asphalt.
All work is weather dependent. With high winds, drivers should expect the potential for signs to be down or blown over.
Town Staff will begin shutting down and draining the Town-wide irrigation system on Monday, October 2nd for the winter season. Irrigation system users are reminded to get systems blown out and winterized.
Questions can be directed to the Town of Silt at 970-876-2353.
The Silt Board of Trustees last Monday evening unanimously passed the first reading an ordinance that accepts the loans offered to the Town by the State of Colorado's Drinking Water Revolving Fund. Second reading of the ordinance will be presented to the Board for final passage on Tuesday, October 10th at 7 PM.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, rather than its normal Monday time slot due to the Columbus/Mother Cabrini/Indigenous People's Day holiday on Monday. Public comment on the ordinance will be accepted.
Loans totalling over $28.4 M are in the ordinance, but the Town has secured almost $10 M in grants and principal forgiveness. Interest rates on the remaining loans range from 1 to 3% with the bonds anticipated selling at around 3.5%.
