C-470 Resurfacing from Ken Caryl to Wadsworth

About the Project

Initial construction operations began May 4, 2026, as a part of a resurfacing project on Colorado Highway 470. The project spans from Mile Point 9.74 to MP 14.16 on CO 470 between Ken Caryl Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. This project consists of asphalt resurfacing and roadway improvements designed to provide a smoother ride and improve safety for the traveling public.

Initial project activities also began May 4 for pedestrian ramp repairs, sidewalk repairs, and curb and gutter improvements. Motorists can expect daytime single turn lane closures at the CO 470 and Wadsworth off-ramp at MP 14 through May 15.

Beginning May 17, resurfacing operations will begin and crews will work overnight, Sundays through Thursdays from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Travelers can expect single lane closures, shoulder closures, periodic ramp closures, and reduced speeds through the work zone. The project is scheduled for completion in fall 2026.
