Travel impacts decrease on U.S. 550/160

The Colorado Department of Transportation and contractor Concrete Works of Colorado said there are no more travel-lane closures anticipated in the business section of U.S. Highway 550/Camino del Rio north of College Drive.

The only remaining work in the business section will be on the pedestrian railings on the west side of Camino del Rio, from College Drive to 9th Street, and a few signs, but this work can be completed without impacting traffic lanes. Minimal remaining striping on the side streets also can be done without lane closures on U.S. 550. Single-lane closures in both directions during work hours for sidewalk, guardrail and signal work can be expected on U.S. Highway 160 West. The southbound lane of Roosa Avenue will be closed through Friday while crews work to construct the raised crosswalk and island at U.S. 160 West and Roosa Avenue. There will be a possible shoulder closure while crews install bike railing along the adjacent retaining wall to complete the bike lanes on the southbound shoulder of U.S. 550/Camino del Rio between 9th Street and College Drive.
