Regionwide Striping in Southwest Colorado

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation, in partnership with Straight Stripe Painting Inc., will begin restriping work on May 16 throughout southwestern Colorado. This project involves paint striping over existing pavement markings on both asphalt and concrete pavement types; these new white and yellow markings will match existing pavement lines. Work is scheduled to be completed in mid August 2022.

This project involves painting striping over existing pavement markings on both asphalt and concrete pavement types; these new white and yellow markings will match existing pavement lines. Work will begin at the US 550 locations near silverton. “By completing yearly maintenance on our highway pavement markings, we are able to preserve the safety and integrity of our highways,” said CDOT Chief Engineer, Steve Harelson. “Maintaining the reflectivity on highway centerlines and edgelines, helps guide the traveling public especially at night and during inclement weather conditions.”
