The work follows a recently completed culvert repair between Mancos and Durango.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers should expect stops and short delays between Cortez and Mancos while crews remove the existing metal culvert pipe and replace it with a new 60\u2011inch concrete culvert. CDOT said crews will also build a concrete headwall and tailwall at the site.<\/p>\n<p>A portable traffic signal is in place to control alternating one\u2011way traffic 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n<p>Normal work hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Additional delays are expected in April at the previous location east of Mancos (mile point 64) when asphalt repairs take place.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to be added to the project update list, contact CDOT at (970) 510\u20116625 or <a href=\"mailto:copublicinfo@gmail.com\">copublicinfo@gmail.com<\/a>.
