I-70 Glenwood Canyon Sign Replacement

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation and contract partner Work Zone Traffic Control will begin a sign project on I-70 in Garfield and Eagle Counties. The project will take place from Mile Point 118, just east of Glenwood Springs, and will continue for 13 miles through the canyon to MP 131.

Work will include the removal of worn out signs, installation of 300 new signs and installation of 160 new posts. New signs will be installed at approximately 300 locations along I-70, on four on/off ramps and at rest areas within the project limits. The new regulatory, warning and guidance signs will have better reflectivity at night to hep motorist navigate the highway safely.
