Traffic will be impacted on I-70 through Glenwood Canyon and on Highway 82 for a CDOT Rock Fence Improvement project.
Please take into account that the traffic holds will cause long backups and delays for both east and westbound I-70 motorists and to plan accordingly. At this time there is not a need to close any rest areas and all traveling motorists will still have access.
The project will be in operation Monday - Thursday from 7:00 am - 7:00 pm.
Ongoing Traffic Impacts
• Rock Fence Improvements on I-70 will begin at mile point (MP) 122 and continue to MP 125.
• Westbound I-70 has a 10 ft. width restriction during hours of operation for the duration of the project.
This Week's Travel Impacts
• Monday, April 30
- Westbound right lane closure on CO 82 at mile marker (MM) 4.82
- Westbound left lane closure on CO 82 at MM 0.03
