CO 141 Naturita North Paving

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation, in cooperation with United Companies, will begin work on CO Highway 141 at the north end of Naturita and move north towards Gateway for approximately 35 miles. This paving and roadway upgrade project will take place from mile point 61 to MP 95.75.

This project consists of roadway improvements including asphalt milling and paving, shouldering, upgrading guardrails, sign replacement, and culvert repair. The paving will create smoother roads and improved driving conditions, which in turn will improve safety for the traveling public along this corridor.

Work Schedule & Traffic Impacts

Beginning Monday, April 19, through October motorists will encounter road work on CO 141. Traffic impacts include:

• Work will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
• During daytime activities, traffic flow will be reduced to alternating single lane traffic in 1-2 mile increments within the project limits, with the use of flagger control.
• Speeds will be reduced to 40 mph in the work zone. Traffic fines will be doubled in the work zone.
• Motorists should slow down as they approach the work zones, drive with caution, allow extra space between vehicles, and give themselves extra travel time.
