Colorado’s next major highway undertaking kicks off this week as crews begin work onof Interstate 70 in the mountains — a project aimed at eliminating the Floyd Hill bottleneck and improving safety through a notorious eight-mile stretch.
“The mountain corridor is a challenging environment,” said Kurt Kionka, CDOT’s project director, at a stop midway down Floyd Hill during a project corridor media tour in June. “In order to construct this, we need to build up above the current alignment, and then we also need to cut into the mountainside.”, the construction schedule and the expected impact — both while it’s underway and once it’s all done in late 2028.
Off the highway, the project includes the construction of a missing two-mile stretch of frontage road in the canyon for local and emergency traffic, along with improvements to the Clear Creek Greenway trail.The project’s most notable features Part of that smoother curve will be accomplished by crossing westbound traffic over the eastbound lanes — resulting in a reverse traffic configuration for a short stretch, until the westbound lanes cross back over and return to the ground.
Cars, trucks and campers heading westbound brake as they come into big curves while traveling down Floyd Hill along Interstate 70 on Oct. 4, 2021. The construction zone will come with lower speed limits and other constraints that unavoidably affect traffic. But CDOT officials expect to keep all existing lanes open during peak travel hours, with lane closures restricted to overnight hours.
