CDOT to Chip Seal SH 3 in Durango Next Week
DURANGO - Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) maintenance crews will provide a chip seal to entire length of SH 3 next week, from Santa Rita Drive south to the junction with US 160/550. A chip seal is a preventative maintenance measure designed to extend the life of a highway that is in good/fair condition for five to 10 years, depending upon traffic volumes and climate. “A chip seal is a good example of spending a little on highway maintenance now so we can avoid higher costs in the future,” CDOT Region 5 Transportation Director Kerrie Neet said. TRAVEL IMPACTS: Next Monday through Thursday, weather permitting, motorists will encounter single-lane, alternating traffic on SH 3. All business access will be maintained, but may be altered temporarily. Updated information on this or other CDOT projects is also available at www.cotrip.org or by calling 511.
