This work will require closures of U.S. 50, however, access will be provided on a daily basis. Based on feedback from the traveling public, local elected officials and businesses, and the Colorado Motor Carriers Association, project access will be provided every weekday morning, midday, and evening during the first year of construction (April 2020 to April 2021) and fully open on the weekends to twoway traffic starting 5:30 p.m. Friday until 8:30 a.m. Monday. These weekday openings will be reduced to a single lane of travel, so drivers should allow extra time while pilot cars lead vehicles one direction at a time. The following is the planned schedule of weekday openings:  Read More...
