CO 14 Cameron Pass Resurfacing
About the Project:
The Colorado Department of Transportation and Oldcastle SW Group, Inc. began the improvement project in Larimer County on Colorado Highway 14, over Cameron Pass in late May. The anticipated completion date is November 2024.
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.
Work Schedule:
