The Colorado Department of Transportation is deep into construction on the Colorado Highway 9 Gap Project, an effort to widen the entire route between Frisco and Breckenridge to two lanes.
As community members begrudgingly move their way through slower traffic, cones and flaggers on the side of the road, officials say the project is making good progress and eventually will pay dividends in reducing congestion.
“This project was really congestion oriented,” said Kevin O’Reilly, CDOT’s project engineer on the Gap Project. “The road goes down to one lane through that small section, so this is really the final piece of the puzzle to make it two lanes all the way through from Breckenridge to I-70.”
