    Project Info

    The CDOT US 36 Strasburg project includes: milling and paving asphalt; removing and reinstalling guardrail; concrete work; repairing slab; repairing a bridge; paving curb ramps; adding signage; and striping. This project is expected to be completed by winter 2017.

    Construction hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, with night and weekend work as necessary.

    On US 36, speeds will be reduced to 40 mph in select 55 mph zones. During work, there will be a width restriction of 12 feet on US 36 and I-70M.

    APC Construction Company of Golden is the prime contractor on this $4.96 million project.
