Colorado Department of Transportation maintenance crews will pave two segments of CO 119 downhill from Black Hawk on Tuesday and Wednesday next week, necessitating some traffic delays.

Weather permitting, the work will take place between mileposts 3 to 4.1. That stretch is just about halfway between the U.S. 6 junction and Black Hawk.

“Since the window of opportunity to pave in warm temperatures is relatively small, it is important that our crews complete the work now to repair this deteriorating section of CO 119,” said Don Miller, CDOT’s maintenance supervisor. “We realize there will be significant delays during the project and we will do our best to minimize traffic impacts and complete the work quickly.”

During the project, motorists can expect single-lane alternating traffic from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. Delays of 20 minutes are possible and alternate routes are strongly advised. CDOT would like to remind motorists to “Slow for the Cone Zone” and obey all construction signs and flaggers.

All work should be complete by 2 p.m. Wednesday. If inclement weather causes a schedule change, CDOT will announce new information on it.
