US 50 Coaldale to Salida Resurfacing Project

About the Project:

The Colorado Department of Transportation, with its contract partner, ARY Corporation, will begin work on US 50 from Coaldale to Salida in mid April. The traveling public can expect daytime lane and shoulder closures. The project is scheduled for completion in fall of 2024. Project work consists of US 50 resurfacing from Coaldale to Salida from MP 222 to MP 241. Once complete, the project will improve drivability and provide safer driving conditions for motorists.

Project Benefits

• The project will improve drivability and provide safer driving conditions for motorists.

Work Schedule:

Different from the traffic impacts, this should be the general working hours and schedule of the project. 

• Construction on the project is anticipated to take place April - December 2024
• Working hours are 30 minutes after sunrise to 30 minutes before sunset, Monday to Friday

Traffic Impacts:

Beginning in late July, there will be a 24/7 single lane closure on US Highway 50 at Howard, between Salida and Coaldale at Mile Post 233.8. This single lane closure will be controlled by temporary traffic signals, and will continue through October 2024. The closure will be used for replacement of the bridge deck at MP 233.8. Travelers can expect 15 minute hold times, and no detour is required.
