US 50 Passing Lane - Gunnison County

About the Project

The US 50 Gunnison County Passing Lane Project Is complete.  The goal of this project was to improve safety on US 50. Safety improvements included the construction of a passing lane along with the removal and replacement of 39 guardrail end anchors. These improvements were designed to give motorists wider roads to travel on during inclement weather, higher traffic volumes, and to prevent road erosion. The resurfacing and widening will create smoother pavement and improved driving conditions, and the added chain-up areas will significantly improve safety for travelers when weather conditions suddenly change.
