CO 14 Cameron Pass Resurfacing

About the Project:

The Colorado Department of Transportation and United Companies began the improvement project in Larimer County on Colorado Highway 14, over Cameron Pass in late May. The anticipated completion date is spring 2025.

Resurfacing work began on CO 14, over Cameron Pass, east of Gould at Mile Point 65 and concludes at MP 76, near Kinikinik, in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest. The existing asphalt will be milled and filled with three inches of new hot mix asphalt. Within these mile points, three bridge structures will be repaired.

While working on the project, a safety rail will be installed on an existing box culvert at MP 86, just west of Idylwilde. These barriers are designed to redirect or contain vehicles that veer off the road, reducing the severity of crashes and preventing vehicles from leaving the roadway entirely.

In the fall, centerline rumble strip installation will begin at MP 102, west of Eggers.


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, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Additional work may be required on Friday
  • The work schedule is weather-dependent and subject to change

Traffic Impacts:

Motorists can expect the following impacts during the period of construction:

  • Multiple construction projects are occurring throughout the work zone from Mile Point 65 to MP 105
    • Motorists can anticipate delays of up to 15 minutes
    • There will be a reduced speed limit of 35 MPH through the work zone
    • Watch for flaggers guiding motorists through work areas
    • Motorcyclists and motorists should use extreme caution throughout the work zone due to loose gravel, grooved pavement, and uneven lanes
  • Infrastructure bridge repairs are taking place from MP 75 to MP 76
    • Flaggers will guide motorists during work hours
    • Temporary traffic signals may be in place during non-working hours to guide traffic
    • There is a wide load restriction of 12 feet and a reduced speed limit of 35 MPH
