I-70 Traffic Stops at Georgetown Hill Tuesday

April 16, 2012 - TRAFFIC ADVISORY - Central Eastern Colorado/CDOT Region 1 - CLEAR CREEK COUNTY – The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will be stopping traffic on Interstate 70 at Georgetown Hill tomorrow for rock mitigation work, weather permitting.

Beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 17, 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, for additional mitigation work, including rockfall fence and barrier installation. The closure is in place from 10 a.m. until dark. This week’s lane closure is in place today and continues on Wednesday and Thursday.
