Southwestern Colorado Chain Up Station Lighting
https://www.codot.gov/projects/archived-project-sites/swco-chainstnlighting
Colorado Department of Transportation will begin work on the installation of new lighting at seven chain up stations located throughout Region 5. One location will include a solar collection system to provide sustainable power for the lights. This project was contracted to Morton Electric for $917,000. This project is part of CDOT’s “Whole System. Whole Safety.” initiative aimed at enhancing safety for Colorado’s traveling public. Adding lights at these chain stations will improve visibility for truck drivers and the traveling public when the chain law is in effect.
