Colorado Department of Transportation will re-stripe pavement markings south of Durango overnight Sunday.

Travelers will encounter re-striping operations from 8 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday on U.S. Highway 160/550 south of Durango, between the intersection of Highway 3, near the High Bridge, east to the Grandview area and the intersection of Three Springs Boulevard. Daytime operations will then continue for the remainder of the week, eastward on Highway 160 toward Bayfield.

This is a slow moving, mobile operation. Speeds will be reduced to 40 mph in work zones. At times, through lanes and turn lanes may be temporarily closed to traffic causing brief travel delays. Drivers are urged to use caution and watch for heavy equipment.

Travelers are discouraged from passing the striping truck and crossing over fresh paint, as this may damage a vehicle’s finish.

Regionwide re-striping operations, which began in June, will continue throughout many highways in Southwest Colorado through August.
