The Colorado Department of Transportation and contract partner United Companies is pleased to announce the completion of the resurfacing project on Colorado Highway 64. The project took place on CO 64 from Mile Point 43 and continued for 18 miles to MP 61 west of Meeker.
As part of CDOT’s Whole System—Whole Safety initiative, this project focused on a 1-inch leveling and 1.5-inch hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay and the installation of new guardrail. The HMA will add approximately 10 years of life to the highway and will create a smoother road surface by eliminating ruts and road damage.
The new guardrail will be 31 inches high instead of 27 inches high to help vehicles remain on the road more effectively, making the highway safer for the traveling public.
Additional work consisted of rumble strip installation and pavement markings.
