US 50B Structure Replacement

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation along with contractor Tricon 2, LLC has completed the structure replacement project in Bent County. The project location was on US 50, 6 miles east of Las Animas. The project replaced an existing structure with a concrete box culvert to provide a drainage system that is more manageable and weather resistant for the area. While working on the project, crews paved the roadway and replaced/upgraded existing guardrail. Rumble strips were also added as a safety feature.
