The Colorado Department of Transportation’s safety improvements for Red Dirt Hill on U.S. Highway 40 will continue for the week of Sept. 8-12.
According to CDOT, crews are conducting asphalt paving on the two-mile stretch of highway between Cottonwood Pass Road and County Road 53, Mile Points 217-219, between Granby and Tabernash. Work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Paving will now be on the eastbound side of U.S. 40. Two-way traffic with one lane open in each direction will will be maintained during the paving, and motorists should plan for at least 20-minute delays. Traffic will be reduced to 45 mph through the work zone, but may be reduced to 40 mph if flaggers are present.
