CDOT Begins Two-Week Chip Seal Operation on Highway 285 Over Poncha Pass

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is starting a two-week chip seal operation today on Highway 285 over Poncha Pass. The project will cover an 8-mile segment of Highway 285, stretching between Saguache County Road 57 and Mears Junction.

Motorists should be prepared for full stops and delays of 20-30 minutes, as traffic will be guided through the work zone by a pilot car. CDOT assures that crews will work efficiently to complete the project, but operations are weather dependent.

Please plan your travel accordingly and allow for extra time if driving through this area. Your patience and cooperation are appreciated as CDOT works to improve the roadway.
