CO 14 Cameron Pass Resurfacing

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation and contracting partner Oldcastle SW Group, Inc. will resume construction activities on Colorado Highway 14 over Cameron Pass in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest.

The project began in May 2024 and has been on winter shutdown. The anticipated completion date is early July 2025.

Construction on CO 14 over Cameron Pass began just east of Gould at Mile Point 65 and extends to MP 76, near Kinikinik. During the 2024 construction season, 10 miles of existing asphalt were milled and filled to replace the worn surface layer, enhancing the road’s smoothness and safety.

Further enhancements involved repairing two bridge structures, including deck work to provide structural integrity and safety. Guardrails were installed to prevent vehicles from leaving the bridge roadway. Additionally, a safety rail was added to an existing culvert box, just west of Idylwilde at MP 86, and centerline rumble strips were placed beginning at MP 102 west of Eggers.

Final construction tasks will include bridge deck repairs at MP 75.5 consisting of milling and repaving, along with replacing the bridge rail and guardrail. Additionally, all signs and delineators will be installed throughout the project, and bump grinding will be completed to smooth the roadway within the work zone.

Project Recap

Crews have completed significant roadway improvements along Interstate 76 between the Crook Interchange and two miles west of the Iliff Interchange (MP 150 to 132).

The project included replacing concrete panels and performing diamond grinding to remove surface irregularities, bumps and imperfections. This process improved surface texture and results in a much smoother ride for motorists.

In addition to the completed concrete panel and grinding work, crews also performed resurfacing, bridge rehabilitation and upgrades to guardrails and signage along this vital corridor. Together, these improvements enhance safety, extend the service life of the roadway and create a smoother and more reliable travel experience for the public. The completed work not only improves day-to-day driving conditions but also provides safety along one of Colorado’s key east-to-west interstates.

Project Benefits

• Roadway resurfacing provides a safer and smoother surface for motorists.
• Guardrails will be replaced along the project limits which will prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway and may prevent far more serious crashes.
• Centerline rumble strips will be installed to alert drivers when they are unintentionally drifting out of their lane. These strips help prevent head-on collisions, sideswipes, and other accidents caused by drifting into opposing traffic or off the road.
• To improve motorist safety, bridge repairs will be made to mitigate risks of structural failures.
