The Colorado Department of Transportation will begin resurfacing a one mile stretch of westbound I-70 near Silverthorne on Monday, October 6. Work involves removing or milling off the old asphalt and replacing it with new pavement. This will significantly improve the heavily traveled stretch of I-70.
Traffic Impacts
The maintenance repairs are expected to take place daily on westbound I-70 just before the Silverthorne exit, between Mile Points 207.1 and 206.5, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 6, through Thursday, Oct. 9, and Monday, Oct. 13, through Thursday, Oct. 16. No planned work is anticipated between Friday through Sunday.
- During working hours, two lanes of traffic will be closed.
- One lane will remain open throughout the duration of the project.
- Motorists should plan for extra time to reach their destination.
- Drivers should heed the speed limit, leave plenty of following distance and watch for crews and equipment in the work zone.
The schedule could change depending on the weather. Check COtrip.org for the latest information on road closures and conditions.
