GUNNISON COUNTY— Tomorrow, Wednesday, Aug. 17 crews will be performing rock blasting as part of the Blue Creek reconstruction project. The mile points on this project are 121-123. Traffic will be stopped by 9:45 a.m. and then blasting will commence around 10:00 a.m. Crews will then clear any debris and the highway will be reopened. Motorists should expect to be stopped for about 30 minutes.
Crews anticipate repeating this operation again next week, Tuesday, Aug. 23.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS: Crews will hold traffic for about 30 minutes and then the queue will be released.
