The Colorado Department of Transportation, in partnership with Kolbe Striping Inc., will begin restriping work Monday throughout southwestern and south-central Colorado.

This project involves striping over existing pavement markings on both asphalt and concrete pavement types; these new white and yellow markings will match existing pavement lines. Work is scheduled to be completed by late August.

These highways will be worked on: U.S. highways 160, 491, 550, 24, 50, 285 and Colorado highways 145 and 291, which run through Montezuma, La Plata, Archuleta, Mineral, Rio Grande, Alamosa, Dolores, San Miguel, Montrose, Chaffee, Park, Mesa, Delta, Gunnison, Saguache, Fremont and Pueblo counties.

Throughout the duration of this project, there will be occasional single-lane restrictions controlled by flaggers or portable traffic signals. Arrow boards will display caution symbols and “Highway Painting Next 2 miles” signs. Mobile traffic control will be used in work zones with slow moving directional traffic.

Use caution and slower speeds when traveling through the work zone, as there will be wet paint throughout. General working hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. Weekend and night work may occur occasionally.
