Crews on the US 160 reconstruction project in Pagosa Springs continued operations into early October, focusing on concrete pouring, curb and gutter installation, and traffic pattern adjustments.
Key Activities Planned
Beginning the week of Oct. 5, the 1st Street intersection was reduced to one lane alternating in each direction for utility updates and concrete paving, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week for two weeks. Work on the 100 block included concrete operations for curb, gutter, and sidewalks on the south side. At the 5th Street intersection, the south side remained closed with alternative access provided, while utility and asphalt paving continued.
At the Harman Park and Piedra Road intersection, crews maintained work hours from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, with seven-day operations possible due to weather conditions. Motorists were advised to allow extra time and expect potential delays.
Project Context
The overall project, managed by the Colorado Department of Transportation with contractor WW Clyde, involves replacing asphalt with concrete roadway and includes pedestrian safety upgrades. Westbound lane closures with width and length restrictions were set to remain in place through the end of 2026, subject to weather.
Updates noted that all work is subject to weather conditions, with crews potentially working weekends to catch up on delays.
