The Colorado Department of Transportation will resume repairing five crib walls (retaining walls) on the hillside below U.S. Highway 550 on Red Mountain Pass on Wednesday.
This project is scheduled for completion by Aug. 31 and consists of repairing and replacing five crib walls and repairing/reinforcing one south of the Red Mountain Pass summit, about 13 miles south of Ouray. The project will resume Wednesday and will involve rock excavation and blasting.
From Wednesday to Friday, there will be lane closures controlled by flaggers as crews mobilize and bring in equipment and set up work zones. Beginning Friday and ending Aug. 31, anticipated travel impacts are single-lane, alternating traffic 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, controlled by flaggers or portable traffic signals. Delays should be minimal on evenings and weekends when no work is underway, possibly five minutes.
During daytime work, with hours varying through the summer, motorists may be delayed up to 20 minutes, depending upon traffic queues. There will be some blasting operations later in the summer at this work site; this will require full traffic stops in each direction, with delays exceeding 30 minutes as longer traffic queues are cleared. Further notice of the blasting schedule will be sent when details are known, likely in early June.
For more information, call (970) 209-3332. To sign up to receive project information and/or lane closure updates on state highways, visit www.codot.gov and choose the envelope icon at the bottom of the page.
