About the Project
The Colorado Department of Transportation will begin resurfacing improvements on US Highway 6 from Avon to Dowd Junction on April 26. Most work will take place on US 6 between Mile Point 170 and MP 175, with primary work consisting of milling the existing asphalt surface and repaving. Two Interstate 70 ramps will also be repaved, including the I-70 eastbound on-ramp at Exit 169 and the westbound off-ramp of Exit 171. Work will also include replacement of guardrail, striping, adding a bike lane between MP 172 and MP 173, ADA ramp upgrades, erosion control, and traffic control management.
