The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) with its contract partner United Companies will begin work on U.S. Highway 24 south of Minturn in late April between Mile Points 147 and 158. Travelers can expect lane and shoulder closures beginning April 29. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2024.  Work on the project includes surface treatment, 2.5-inch HMA mill and overlay, pavement markings and delineation on U.S. 24 south of Minturn (MP 147-158). Once complete the project will improve driveability for motorists and provide safer conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.

Travelers to and from Leadville can avoid this and other nearby construction projects by using Colorado Highway 91 and Interstate 70.

Nearby CDOT Projects

There are several CDOT projects in the area during the 2024 construction season. Travelers are encouraged to check COtrip.org for the most up-to-date information about traffic impacts and to select the best route. Projects are the U.S. 6 and Post Boulevard Roundabout, I-70 Mile Point 170.5 Essential Wall Repair Project, I-70 Dowd Canyon Variable Speed Limit Sign Project, and the U.S. 24 Resurfacing south of Minturn. All four projects will be underway by June 2024.

Traffic Impacts 

Motorists and area residents can expect the following impacts during construction: 

  • Work will occur during daytime hours, Monday through Friday.
  • Single-lane closures, double-lane closures and shoulder closures will take place within the work zone.
  • Reduced speeds in the work zone.
  • Motorists are asked to plan ahead and expect short delays. Construction schedules are weather-dependent.
