We do a lot more than you think
"The echelon" — our version of the fighter jet formation for snowplows. Pretty cool, right? Just don’t get too close, and keep yourself and our plow drivers safe.
In Colorado, we are no strangers to avalanche mitigation. No matter the location, we work hard to keep the traveling public safe and our roads passable.
CDOT fiber cabling is installed along more than 1,600 miles of state maintained highways. Many look to CDOT to expand the fiber backbone into communities that are lacking high-speed internet.
Sure, our geography presents challenges. Mudslides, rockslides and floods to name a few. But when needed, our crews are on the move to help get our roadways back in working order as soon as possible.
No job is too large or too small. We value teamwork, and at CDOT, our employees play a huge role in helping their communities flourish.
Serious incidents happen on our roadways every day. Our Traffic Incident Management (TIM) program removes incidents from Colorado's highways and restores normal travel operations as safely and quickly as possible.
We are pros at using heavy machinery. Snow, rockfalls, rain or shine, nothing will stop us from clearing the roads and keeping them accessible to drivers.
It’s our duty to maintain 23,000 miles of roadway in our state. Our three Operations Centers keep an eye on roads and coordinate incident response, monitor traffic, and distribute information to keep travelers in the know.
We focus on more than just roads. Did you know that our maintenance crews also take care of the vegetation along CDOT’s roadways?
