CO 257 Resurfacing US 34 Business to Walnut Street
About the Project:
The CO 257 Resurfacing project will improve nearly five miles of highway between US 34 Business (Mile Point 5.6) in Greeley and Walnut Street (MP 10.4) in Windsor. Planned bridge repairs at MP 7.6, which is approximately two miles north of US Business 34, will require a temporary 20-day full closure of CO 257. Intersection improvements at Crossroads Boulevard include adding a second eastbound left turn lane to northbound CO 257. Safety improvements include installing new guardrail, roadside delineators, and rumble strips.
For more information about the project, please watch a short video here.
