The work will cost $140,000, which the Colorado Department of Transportation plans to recoup from the insurance carrier for Screaming Eagle Trucking of Silt. One of its drivers was hauling a water tank on I-70 on July 26 when the tank struck the girder.

The contractor will repair the bent steel by heating it and straightening it.
