CO 14 Cameron Pass Resurfacing

About the Project

The Colorado Department of Transportation began a winter shutdown of construction activities for the Colorado Highway 14 Resurfacing Project over Cameron Pass, in the Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forest. This temporary pause began mid-November 2024, as winter weather conditions made it impractical to continue construction operations.

Construction activities will be suspended until June 2025 when warmer temperatures allow work to resume. CDOT anticipates completing the remaining work which includes final bridge structure repairs.

During the 2024 construction season, two of the three bridge structures were repaired, including deck work to improve structural integrity and safety, and guardrails were added to prevent vehicles from leaving the bridge roadway. Additionally, a safety rail was installed at Mile Point 86 on an existing culvert box, just west of Idylwilde and centerline rumble strips were placed starting 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 will resume in June 2025
