Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
Week of January 3-7, 2022
I-70 in Glenwood Canyon.
Welcome to the New Year!
The project moves into the Colorado River Recovery phase this week.
Work will resume on Monday, Jan. 3 with an eastbound right lane closure from mile point
123.5-124.5. Contractors, Lawrence Construction and IHC Scott will utilize the same lane
closure.
The IHC Scott project team will mobilize equipment to the Union Pacific railyard and the
equipment will be taken into the canyon by train on Wednesday. Off haul operations will then
begin at the Devil’s Hole location (MP 124.4).
Currently there are no overnight closures anticipated on the project for the end of this week
or over the weekend. In order to maintain a safe working environment, work is weather
dependent.
Happy Holidays and safe travels!
The GeoHazard project team will reevaluate the schedule this week and determine if they
can take advantage of any possible closures the river recovery projects will be implementing.
Motorists planning to travel on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon should pay attention to road
conditions on cotrip.org and weather forecasts. Rest area and recreation path information is
also available at cotrip.org. I-70 safety closure information can be found on CDOT’s website

Anticipated Traffic Impacts
There will be an eastbound right lane closure from mile point 123.5-124.5 for the
debris removal as Colorado River recovery begins.
