CDOT to begin CO 82 and CO 133 signal replacement project in Glenwood Springs and Carbondale

Travel Advisory

June 3, 2021 - Northwestern Colorado

GARFIELD COUNTY - The Colorado Department of Transportation and contract partner Casper Electric will begin a signal replacement project on Monday, June 7. The signal replacement will take place at the following locations in Glenwood Springs and Carbondale:

  • CO 82 at 11th Street and 14th Street in Glenwood Springs (Mile Point 0.18 to MP 1.43)

  • CO 133 at Meadowood Drive and Village Road in Carbondale (MP 66.05 to MP 68.82)

The signals at those highway intersections need replacement because they are outdated. Motorists should plan on delays and limited access to 11th St., 14th St., Meadowood Drive and Village Road.
There will be times when 11th St. and 14th St. will be closed, but the intersections with CO 82 will remain open. The limited lane closures on CO 82 will be turn lanes used to access the side streets described above. Please see below for maps showing where the intersections are located.

Work will include the removal and installation of traffic signal equipment, poles, mast arms, pedestrian push buttons, signing and vehicle detection upgrades. Crews will also install 16 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps. The new ramps will be in compliance with the Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) requirements and will provide functional accessibility to all travelers using our state and US highways. The project is anticipated to be complete in November 2021.
