US 24 Wildlife Fencing Johnson Village East

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation and ABCO Contracting, Inc. will install new wildlife fencing and earthen big game ramps on US Highway 24/285 east of Johnson Village between mile points 213.5 and 216.5.

The project work will include installing three miles of new fencing on both sides of the highway, removing old fencing, installing deer guards at approach roads, and installing earthen game ramps.

This project is funded in part by the RESTORE Colorado grant awarded in 2020 to promote wildlife connectivity and reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions on the highway.
