CO 318 Resurfacing Project Moffat County

About the Project:

The Colorado Department of Transportation and Elam Construction of Grand junction have scheduled resurfacing work along CO Highway 318 in Moffat County from the Utah/Colorado State Line west of Maybell. The project will include a 1” hot mix asphalt lane level paving and a 1.5” HMA overlay located on CO 318 for 12.5 miles from Mile Point 0, at UT/CO State Line, to MP 12.5, west of Maybell. Other work consists of rumble strip installation and pavement marking.

Work Schedule:

  • Work is expected to be completed late August 2023
