CO 257 Resurfacing
US 34 Business to Walnut Street

Project Announcement

Construction starts soon on CO 257 resurfacing and bridge repairs between Greeley and Windsor


The Colorado Department of Transportation and Coulson Excavating Company will improve nearly five miles of Colorado Highway 257 between US 34 Business (Mile Point 5.6) in Greeley and Walnut Street (MP 10.4) in Windsor this year. Drivers will pass through at least two work zones and should prepare for periodic traffic delays on CO 257 starting in late May.

This project resurfaces CO 257 to provide a smoother driving surface and increase the longevity of the highway. Intersection improvements at Crossroads Boulevard will enhance mobility by adding a second eastbound left turn lane to northbound CO 257. Safety improvements include installing new guardrail, roadside delineators, and rumble strips. 

CO 257 was identified as a priority corridor for CDOT’s Surface Treatment Program. Funding from the program will improve drivability and highway safety on CO 257. Coulson Excavating Company was awarded the contract to construct the improvements.

Project Schedule

  • The project is set to begin in late May
  • Work is expected to be complete in fall 2023
  • Working hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday with occasional extended hours and weekend work
  • The construction schedule is weather-dependent and subject to change

Traffic Impacts


Drivers are encouraged to take alternate routes, use extra caution in the work zones, and follow all signs and markings.

Planned bridge repairs at MP 7.6, which is approximately two miles north of US 34 Business, will require a temporary 20-day closure of CO 257 in the fall. More information will be posted on message boards and on the CO 257 Resurfacing project web page in advance of closures.

Other traffic impacts include:
  • Various lane and shoulder closures within the project limits
  • Periodic single-lane operations with flaggers alternating traffic or a temporary short-term detour for one direction of CO 257 at a time
  • Trucks entering and exiting various work zones
  • Temporary concrete barrier wall to separate the work zone from adjacent travel lanes at several locations
  • Work zone speed limit reduction may be in place
  • Traffic fines will be doubled in the work zone 
Weekly traffic impacts information is available on the CO 257 Resurfacing project web page.

Coordination with Adjacent Projects


CDOT will coordinate work and traffic impacts with adjacent projects. The Town of Windsor will make improvements to the CO 257 / Eastman Park Drive intersection this year. For more information on this project, please visit the town’s web page.
