CO 66 Intersection Improvements in Northeastern Colorado/Region 4
Project Complete!
CO 66 at Weld County Road (WCR) 7 and WCR 13 Intersection Improvements. This intersection improvement project includes two intersections. The traffic signal systems at both intersections will be replaced. Work at WCR 7 will also consist of adding a northbound left turn lane, and overlaying the entire intersection including new lanes a development is adding. The work will consist of minor earthwork, hot mix asphalt (HMA), traffic signals, bored conduit, signing, striping and traffic control.
