Crews have made significant progress on the Interstate 70 West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project, which has shut down for the winter.
During the shutdown, I-70 has returned to its standard configuration to avoid interfering with winter tourism travel and snow removal operations. Motorists can anticipate typical lane and shoulder widths unless there are emergency incidents. Work will resume in the spring. As the project enters its second winter shutdown, here’s a look at the work accomplished in 2022 and what’s to come next year.
Relocation of the recreation path: A nearly 2-mile section of the Vail Pass recreation path was rebuilt between mile points 185 and 187 to provide a more enjoyable recreation experience and to make room for widening eastbound I-70 to include a new auxiliary lane. The relocation will open in the spring and take users away from the interstate.
