GLENWOOD SPRINGS PROJECT AREA AND WORK HOURS
Southbound/eastbound lane closures will be in effect in Glenwood Springs on CO 82 between 24th Street and the southern city limits (see map). The west side of the 27th Street and CO 82 intersection will also be closed for asphalt removal and paving. For alternate 27th Street access, motorists should use S. Grand Ave. at 23rd Street or Co Rd 154 at Buffalo Valley.
Work hours, lane closures and reduced speeds will be in effect daily from approximately 9 a.m. to dusk. Significant delays are anticipated. Plan extra travel time especially during the morning and afternoon travel peaks.

Work is weather dependent and subject to change.
