Additional work involves deck repairs and resurfacing on the Durango High Bridge, plus installation of Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant ramps at several intersections including Dominguez Drive, River Road, Three Springs Boulevard, and Colorado Highway 172 at Elmore’s Corner. The effort carries a total construction cost of $11.2 million and is slated to run from March through November.
Separately, Wilson Gulch Drive stays closed from the roundabout at Confluence Avenue onward for major road and utility upgrades, with the closure anticipated to persist through November. Other local efforts, such as paving and milling on County Road 250 at the intersection with Metz Lane, also proceed without reported interruptions.
No specific updates or delays tied to August conditions have been documented in available reports. Motorists are directed to the city’s Orange Cone Report for weekly traffic impact details.
