Reminder: US 34 full closure planned from noon on Friday, April 28 to 9 a.m. on Monday, May 1 between Akron and Platner
An extended weekend full closure of U.S. Highway 34 between County Road EE and CR GG is necessary from 12 p.m. Friday, April 28 to 9 a.m. Monday, May 1 when the bridge is demolished and replaced with the concrete box culvert. Any changes to the closure schedule will be posted on message boards near the work zone. Crews will work extended hours including overnight shifts to complete the work as quickly as possible. Construction is weather-dependent, and this schedule is subject to change.
Two signed detour routes will be provided. US 34 through traffic and commercial vehicles will detour north to Interstate 76 between CO 63 in Akron and CO 61 in the Town of Otis. The secondary detour route, which is intended for local traffic only, will direct traffic to detour around the work zone on gravel roads (CR EE, CR 41 and CR GG).
After the highway closure, drivers should expect daily lane closures with flaggers alternating traffic. General work hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with occasional extended hours and weekend work.
A vehicle width restriction is in place from MP 198 to 207. No loads over 12 feet wide are permitted through August 31, 2023.
