US 40/CO 13 Craig signal upgrades project to begin June 9
Travel Advisory
Craig — The Colorado Department of Transportation will begin traffic signal upgrade work on June 9 at two intersections within the City of Craig limits. The project is expected to continue through late August. Sturgeon Electric, based in Denver, is the contractor for the project.
One location is at the intersection of US Highway 40 (West 4th Street) and Ranney Street. Planned upgrades include new pedestal poles with pedestrian push buttons and video detection equipment to improve traffic signal efficiency.
At the intersection of Colorado Highway 13 (Yampa Avenue) and 9th Street, work will involve the replacement and reconstruction of the existing traffic signal. This will include installation of traffic signal equipment, pedestrian poles and push buttons, as well as updated curb ramps. The project team anticipates this portion of the work to be completed before the start of the school year in August.
Traffic signal improvements are designed to improve traffic flow for motorists and enhance pedestrian safety at both intersections.
