Bridge Repairs to close SH 231/36th Lane

PUEBLO, COLO – Bridge repairs begin June 1, 2016 for the SH 231 bridge between Santa Fe Drive and Highway 50 East requiring a full closure of the bridge until Oct. 31, 2016.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and ACC Mountain West (ACC) will begin the much needed repairs to the SH 231 bridge spanning the Arkansas River that was originally built in 1965.   Repairs include replacement of the expansion joint, removal and replacement of the bridge deck and installation of bridge rail.   This project is located between the towns of Vineland and Divine, Colo. 

Detours and Alternate Routes

Traffic will be rerouted to SH 233/Baxter Road which is approximately 2 miles west and has a similar profile as SH 231 which is largely utilized by commercial vehicles.  ACC will assure all emergency response teams and local businesses are alerted to the detour.
