Williams Construction will begin road work on Colorado Highway 145 at Mile Point 71, just west of the Society Turn Roundabout, starting March 23. The project involves widening the road to create a new right-hand turn lane with acceleration and deceleration lanes. Additional construction activities include shoulder improvements, pavement widening, and new paint striping.
The purpose of these changes is to accommodate future traffic patterns in the area. The Colorado Department of Transportation oversees this type of infrastructure project as part of its role in managing transportation systems across the state, according to the official website.
Officials say that work will be completed with minimal delays for drivers. Motorists are advised to slow down and watch for heavy equipment during construction.
The Colorado Department of Transportation builds and maintains interstates, U.S. highways, and state highways while also administering grants for aviation and transit projects statewide, as stated by the official website. Shoshana Lew serves as executive director for the department according to its official site.
The department aims to deliver an effective multi-modal transportation system that safely moves people, goods, and information while improving quality of life and environmental standards in Colorado according to its official website.
