CO 14 Cameron Pass Resurfacing

About the Project:

The Colorado Department of Transportation is announcing the winter shutdown of construction activities for the Colorado Highway 14 Resurfacing Project over Cameron Pass, in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest. This temporary pause will take effect on Nov. 18, 2024, as winter weather conditions make it impractical to continue construction operations.

Construction activities will be suspended until spring 2025 when warmer temperatures allow work to resume. CDOT anticipates completing the remaining work which includes final bridge structure repairs in spring 2025.

During the 2024 construction season, two of the three bridge structures were repaired, including deck work to improve structural integrity and safety, and guardrails were added to prevent vehicles from leaving the bridge roadway. Additionally, a safety rail was installed at Mile Point 86 on an existing culvert box, just west of Idylwilde, and centerline rumble strips were placed starting at MP 102, west of Eggers.

Project Benefits

• Roadway resurfacing provides a safer and smoother surface for motorists.
• Guardrails will be replaced along the project limits which will prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway and may prevent far more serious crashes.
• Centerline rumble strips will be installed to alert drivers when they are unintentionally drifting out of their lane. These strips help prevent head-on collisions, sideswipes, and other accidents caused by drifting into opposing traffic or off the road.
• To improve motorist safety, bridge repairs will be made to mitigate risks of structural failures.

Work Schedule:

• Project Schedule for 2025:

  • Work will resume in the spring of 2025. Crews will complete bridge repairs at MP 75.5. The bridge deck will be milled and repaved. Additional repairs include the removal and replacement of the bridge rail and guardrail.

  • Final construction tasks will include the installation of all signs and delineators across the project as well as the completion of bump grinding to smooth the roadway throughout the work zone. The anticipated completion date is June 2025 and is weather-dependent.
