@coloradodot crews have been hard at work on the I-70 West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project, and now work has paused for the winter for safety and to provide relief to people living in the area and those visiting our world-class ski resorts.
These improvements to this section of I-70 are essential to reduce accidents and improve travel times. That includes the new westbound I-70 bridge over Polk Creak that is now open! The new bridge is designed to accommodate modern speeds and more room for emergency responders. The eastbound bridge will be the focus when construction resumes in the spring.
