Many road construction projects are underway including bridge replacement work that has closed Highway 285 between Antero Junction and Fairplay.
This total closure will be in place through mid-October. The alternate route is Highway 24 and Colorado 9. This will add 15-20 minutes to your travel time.
Other road projects include chip sealing on Highway 285 between Monte Vista and Saguache. The project is expected to last until September.
Improvements to Colorado Highway 96 in Custer County continue. The resurfacing project will improve 26 miles of CO 96 from Westcliffe to Wetmore and is expected to be completed in November. Motorists should allow for travel delays of up to 15 minutes.
