Significant daytime delays expected in Durango, April 23 – 24

Friday - April 19, 2024 by Colo. Dept. of Transportation

Motorists traveling through the US 550 and US 160 Junction near the Doubletree Hotel in Durango, Colo. will encounter lengthy delays, lane reductions and traffic congestion while CDOT performs bridge maintenance work over the Animas River. CDOT set to perform two-day maintenance operations on the Animas River Bridge. Plan for significant daytime delays Tuesday, April 23 – Wednesday, April 24.  

Plan for up to 20-minute delays and limited lanes next Tuesday and Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. while the Colorado Department of Transportation sets a permanent bridge joint on the US Highway 160 Animas River Bridge just south of the DoubleTree Hotel. Morning and evening commuters will not encounter significant congestion as crews will work swiftly to complete maintenance operations outside of heavy traffic times.  

Last October, maintenance crews performed week-long operations to reinforce the westbound approach to the bridge and prepare it for the placement of the new expansion joint.
