Shoulder work to be conducted on Red Mountain Pass

Colorado Department of Transportation will conduct shoulder work Tuesday and Wednesday along U.S. Highway 550 on the north side of Red Mountain Pass.

A geotechnical engineering crew will be surveying and drilling to collect ground samples along the highway at mile markers 81 and 90.

Work hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the project is scheduled to be complete at the end of Thursday, weather permitting.

Drivers will encounter intermittent lane closures and 15- to 20-minute traffic stops. CDOT urges travelers follow signs and speed reductions in the work area, and be aware of flaggers, maintenance workers and heavy equipment on and near the highway.
