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 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.

Work Schedule:

  •  Work hours are Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • The schedule is weather-dependent and subject to change

Traffic Impacts:

Multiple construction efforts are resuming between MPs 65 and 105, including infrastructure bridge repairs from MPs 65 to 75.5, including:

  • Motorists can anticipate various alternating lane closures throughout the area
  • Flaggers will guide motorists during work hours
  • During non-working hours, temporary signals may be used to guide traffic
  • Brief traffic delays are possible, lasting up to 15 minutes
  • There is a wide load restriction of 12 feet and a reduced speed limit of 35 MPH
  • Motorcyclists and motorists should use extreme caution throughout the work zone due to loose gravel, grooved pavement and uneven lanes
