I-70 Traffic Stops Thursday at Georgetown Hill

March 13, 2012 - TRAFFIC ADVISORY - Central Eastern Colorado/CDOT Region 1 - CLEAR CREEK COUNTY – The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) now will be stopping traffic on Interstate 70 at Georgetown Hill on Thursday, March 15, for rock mitigation work.

Traffic stops originally were scheduled on Wednesday but equipment availability requires a one day delay.

Beginning at 10:30 a.m., traffic on eastbound and westbound I-70 will be stopped for 20 minutes, approximately twice an hour. Westbound traffic will be stopped at the Georgetown interchange; eastbound traffic at Silver Plume. Safety considerations require full traffic stops. Work will continue until approximately 5 p.m.

If adverse weather requires a postponement, work will again be rescheduled.

On days when traffic stops are not taking place, drivers can expect a right lane closure on westbound I-70, from Georgetown to near Silver Plume, during the same hours (no work on Fridays or weekends). Traffic delays should be expected.

Weekly lane closure information about this and other projects is available at www.coloradodot.info/travel/scheduled-lane-closures.html or by calling 511.
