Starting in June 2019, crews began improving nearly 10 miles of US Highway 24 in El Paso County, from 8th Street to west of Manitou Springs. The project consists of:
- milling and paving US 24;
- extending the turn lane at 21st Street and US 24;
- replacing guardrail;
- repairing bridges on at least four structures;
- preventing bridge scour;
- improving drainage; and
- erosion-control.
This work will extend the life of US 24 and the bridges within the work zone, while also creating a safer travel experience.
