CO 67 Woodland Park widening & accessibility improvements project

Travel Advisory

March 3, 2025 - Southeastern Colorado - Work will begin March 10

Teller County — Starting on March 10, the Colorado Department of Transportation will begin widening and making safety and traffic flow improvements to a section of Colorado Highway 67 in Woodland Park. The goal of this project is to improve capacity, safety and mobility to support increased tourist traffic and multimodal demands. Capital Paving & Construction is the prime contractor for the project.

The primary scope of work includes widening CO 67 from County Road/Evergreen Heights Drive to West Kelley’s Road from two to four lanes with a shared middle turn lane. Other work includes building raised medians near major intersections, installing new pedestrian facilities, adding signal heads to West Kelley’s Road and making drainage improvements. When complete, this section of the highway will be better able to accommodate significant traffic surges, especially during the summer months.

The project is located on CO 67 in the City of Woodland Park in Teller County. The project limits extend from the junction of CO 67 and US Highway 24 from Mile Point 76.92 to MP 79.21. The widening on CO 67 will be between County Road/Evergreen Heights Drive (MP 77.50) and West Kelley’s Road (MP 78.21).

“This traffic and safety improvement project will ensure motorists can move safely and reliably travel through this area for years to come,” said CDOT Regional Transportation Director Shane Ferguson. “The addition of a turn lane will allow vehicles to slow down and turn without affecting the flow of through traffic. This will greatly reduce the risk of rear-end crashes.”

Traffic Impacts

Beginning March 10, motorists will encounter road work on CO 67 in Woodland Park. Traffic impacts will include:

  • Working hours will be split between daytime (7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday) and overnight (7 p.m. to 6 a.m.) Sunday to Thursday

  • Overnight single lane closures can also be expected in both directions of US 24 at the approaches to the work zone, managed by flagger operations
