This summer season we have gotten lots of questions about construction on and near I-70. Earlier in the summer we discussed the westbound peak period shoulder lanes, but that is just one of several projects that are worth watching out for and planning around. Below is a list of projects that may be impacting your high country travels.
I-70 Bridge from Stanley Road to Fall River Road in Clear Creek County
- -Stanley Road reduced to one lane with two-way travel directed by temporary traffic signals
- -Working hours: 7am – 5pm, Monday – Thursday; 7am – 3 pm, Friday
US 6 Improvements Over Loveland Pass
- -Expect up to 20-minute delays for traffic alternating within a single lane
- -Working hours: 6am – 7 pm, Monday – Friday
Silver Plume Westbound On-Ramp Sound Wall
