CO 64 & CO 13 Meeker Resurfacing Project

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation and United Companies have completed a resurfacing project on Colorado Highway 13 and Colorado Highway 64 in Rio Blanco County. This project included a 1.5-inch hot mix asphalt overlay on both highways. The project limits were on CO 64 from Mile Point 65.56 to 73.7 and on CO 13 from MP 36.2 to 39.3.

The project also included upgraded guardrails, rumble strips and pavement marking. Additionally, there were bridge improvements at MP 38.7 on CO 13, including installation of a new bridge expansion device, and sealing bridge joints.  

Project Benefits:

• A smooth road or highway has many important benefits including safety and improved quality for driving experience
• Resurfacing greatly extends the life of the asphalt pavement
• Some highways may last more than 50 years with periodic resurfacing of the top layer of asphalt and timely repairs
