The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), in collaboration with United Companies, has finished a resurfacing project on Colorado Highway 112. The work was completed on October 15 and covered about 13 miles, stretching from the intersection of US Highway 160 and CO 112 in Del Norte to the junction with US 285.
Julie Constan, CDOT Regional Transportation Director, stated, “CO 112 is a busy highway for south-central Colorado travelers. Local commuters, as well as agriculture and freight drivers, use this as an efficient connector and rural bypass route when traveling through the San Luis Valley. The new resurfacing will make this valuable alternative route more reliable for Valley travelers.”
As part of the project, guardrails were upgraded to a height of 31 inches to comply with updated safety standards. The higher rails are intended to help prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway.
