The Colorado Department of Transportation will resume construction on the bridge replacement project on US Highway 34 south of Grand Lake.
In cooperation with Structures, construction will begin
again on May 4. Travelers will be diverted to a temporary bridge to allow work
to resume on the new mainline bridge and speeds will be reduced to 25 mph in
the construction zone.
Drivers should expect intermittent lane closures and
flagging operations daily beginning May 4. Work will be 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
The bridge replacement project began in April 2019, with
crews constructing a temporary bridge for traffic and installing a new bridge.
Structures will continue to work on the bridge replacement, then move to
asphalt paving and detour removal and restoration.
The $3.8 million project was originally scheduled for
completion in October, but crews now expect it to be completed by the end of July
2020.
