The Colorado Department of Transportation said crews will spend the first half of October completing paving and striping needed for the winter alignment before the project largely shuts down for the colder months ahead.

Final paving and striping on the new Highway 9 bridge deck is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 12, through Thursday, Oct. 15. Crews also plan to pave and stripe the I-70 shoulders and eastbound ramps during that period.

Other work planned before the winter shutdown includes:

Drivers should continue to expect shoulder closures along I-70 while work is still underway. Daytime construction is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
