Johanna Toledo with Alert Traffic Control stops traffic on Thursday as crews pave a new 1,200-foot-long detour along U.S. Highway 550 south of Durango. Traffic will be moved onto the detour in August so construction crews can build new highway lanes between county roads 220 and 302. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
