Rock and debris to be cleared at U.S. 550 Bondad Hill south of Durango

The Colorado Department of Transportation will perform annual maintenance operations on U.S. Highway 550 Bondad Hill, approximately five miles north of the New Mexico state line. Crews will perform rock slide and debris clean up along the east side of the road, cliffside. A significant amount of fallen rock has accumulated on the shoulder of the highway, making it necessary to remove the excess debris.

Work will take place Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Motorists will encounter lane shifts and a speed reduction from 60 mph down to 40 mph. It is important to observe the reduced speed limit and watch for equipment and personnel in the work zone.
