Archuleta County — Emergency culvert replacement work will begin on Colorado Highway 151 beginning this week on August 30. Work is expected to be completed in late November. This emergency repair project will take place on a section of highway five miles south of the US 160 Junction near Chimney Rock National Monument at Mile Point 28.
Work will include the installation of two new concrete box culverts, rebuilding and resurfacing of the roadway and re-establishing proper water drainage in the area. Construction crews will utilize shoulder closures, single-lane closures and temporary signals.
Earlier this spring, CDOT was alerted of erosion issues on the shoulder of the highway caused by heavy spring run-off in Stollsteimer Creek. The repair work is critical to ensure a safe roadway and proper water drainage system to prevent future erosion.
