Landscaping to begin at U.S. 550/160
The city of Durango announces the initiation of the landscape installation in the newly constructed medians and along either side of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Continuous Flow Intersection at the intersection of U.S. Highway 550 and U.S. Highway 160 West.
Animas Valley Construction has been hired to install an irrigation system and landscaping. Landscaping will include tree plantings on both the east and west sides of the intersection, tree plantings in the U.S. Highway 550 median north of Seventh Street, tree and shrub plantings in the art-piece island at the U.S. 550/160 West intersection and tree and shrub plantings in the median between the west-bound turn lane and Highway 550.
Construction is scheduled to begin the week of Sept. 8 and is planned to be completed by the end of September. The project will require intermittent lane closures on U.S. Highway 550, as construction within the islands and medians is taking place.
