The Colorado Department of Transportation will stripe these state highways through Thursday with epoxy paint:

U.S. Highway 160 from Bayfield to Durango and on Mancos Hill.

U.S. Highway 550 from Durango Mountain Resort to Ouray.

While epoxy paint is long-lasting, it will damage vehicle finishes if they drive over freshly painted epoxy lines. Drivers will experience five to 10-minute delays during daylight hours because of striping.
