The La Plata County Road & Bridge Department has contracted for guardrail improvements on County Road 240 (Florida Road) from mile marker 6 near Edgemont to mile marker 9.2 near County Road 246. Regular working hours will be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The project is scheduled to begin Monday and be completed by Dec. 26, depending on weather.
The project will involve raising or replacing 3.2 miles of guardrail along County Road 240. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane for most of the project’s duration.
Delays of up to 20 minutes should be anticipated. However, every attempt will be made to minimize traffic delays during peak morning and afternoon commuting hours. Motorists are encouraged to allow a little extra travel time for their commute and to drive with caution through the work zone, for their own safety and the safety of the work crews.
