The Colorado Department of Transportation will continue to perform crack sealing operations on CO Highway 172 between Oxford and Airport Road, mile points 17-19. Work will take place, weather permitting, through the remainder of the February, weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Travelers should allow for extra travel time as intermittent closures will be enforced to allow crews to work on the highway.
Traffic Impacts: Drivers will encounter full stops. Flagging personnel will guide traffic through the work zone. Up to 15-minute delays are anticipated. A speed reduction of 40 MPH will be in place and drivers should slow down and use extreme caution when approaching and driving through the work zone. Motorists are urged to be aware of crews and heavy equipment.
Know Before You Go: Travelers are urged to “know before you go.” Gather information about weather forecasts, anticipated travel impacts, and current road conditions prior to hitting the road. CDOT resources include:
