US 6 Clear Creek and Summit Counties 

 

Clear Creek and Summit COUNTIES —  The Colorado Department of Transportation's Whole System-Whole Safety program to improve US 6 has experienced a start delay. The project start date has been moved back as crews are waiting on material delivery. The project will begin on June 24, 2019. The work will take place on US 6 near Loveland Pass and will greatly enhance safety for travelers and recreationists on this two-lane highway. The project was contracted to APC Southern Construction, of Golden, for $4.6 million dollars and is expected to be completed in October 2019.

The project will include culvert replacement, milling and pavement overlay, guardrail replacement, and new pavement markings on 11.2 miles of US 6. The improvements are part of a statewide initiative to provide functional accessibility to all travelers using our State and US highways. Project improvements on US 6 will begin at mile post (MP) 218.6 and continue for 11.2 miles to (MP) 229.8

 

TRAFFIC IMPACTS

Project work hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (daylight hours), Monday through Friday. Motorists should allow for travel delays up to 20 minutes, as traffic will be reduced to an alternating single-lane through the work zone. Please note that trucks will be held within the active construction work zone, with regular traffic, to minimize delays for them as they move through the area. Motorists traveling on US 6 will find the speed limit reduced through areas of active construction during work hours and are asked to use caution when approaching and driving through the work zone.  In addition, vehicles will be restricted to a maximum width of 10 feet during work hours.
