HUERFANO COUNTY—From Friday, Nov. 24 through Tuesday, Nov. 28, crews expect to complete paving on US Highway 160 and the southbound I-25 ramps near Walsenburg (exit 52). This work will require lane closures and shoulder closures, and may cause delays of up to 15 minutes.

Once the paving is complete, the project will enter its final phase with crews working on installing signs and seeding. That work is scheduled to be completed by month's end.
