US 34 closed between Platner and Otis from June 13 to June 16
A full closure of U.S. Highway 34 between County Road MM and CR PP between Platner and the Town of Otis is necessary from 9 a.m. on Tuesday, June 13 through 12 p.m. on Friday, June 16 while an old highway bridge is demolished and replaced. This work has been rescheduled several times due to weather and poor site conditions.
The bridge is located on US34 (Mile Point 206.50) approximately three miles west of Colorado Highway 61/Dade Street. The team is optimistic about the weather forecast next week. However, this work is weather-dependent, and the schedule is subject to change.
Two signed detour routes will be provided during the weekend closure. US 34 through-traffic and commercial vehicles will detour north to Interstate 76 between CO 63 in the Town of Akron and CO 61 in Otis. The secondary detour route, which is intended for local traffic only, will direct traffic around the work zone on gravel roads. The westbound US 34 detour will send traffic north on CR PP, west on CR 42, and south on CR MM. The eastbound US 34 detour will direct traffic north on CR MM, east on CR 41, and south on CR PP.
A vehicle width restriction is in place from MP 198 to 207. No loads over 12 feet wide are permitted through August 31, 2023.
