DURANGO — The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and contractor, Acme Concrete Paving of Spokane, WA, will host a public open house next week to provide information and answer questions about the upcoming highway-improvement project on US 160/US 550 through Durango.
The public open house will be held next Thursday, February 23, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., at the CDOT Maintenance Training Room, located at 20581 US 160 West (next door to the Colorado State Patrol building).
US Highways 160 and 550 through downtown and north Durango will undergo a concrete pavement rehabilitation project beginning the week of March 6, weather permitting.
