SH-9 from Frisco to Breckenridge climbs through Summit County on a two-lane highway with multiple curve sections above 9,000 feet, where guardrail protects vehicles from steep embankment drops on both sides of the road. The town sits at 9,600 feet — making Breckenridge one of the highest-elevation communities we regularly serve — and CDOT Region 3 maintains active guardrail replacement contracts along SH-9 through Summit County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Summit County frost depth exceeds 48 inches at Breckenridge elevation. CDOT Region 3 requires post embedment designed for local frost depth plus a 6-inch buffer. We use a minimum 54-inch embedment at Breckenridge elevation, often with augered holes and compacted backfill to maintain lateral resistance through freeze-thaw cycles.

Yes. CDOT Region 3 permits timber-faced W-beam guardrail on SH-9 and county roads in Summit County, particularly in resort corridors. We install CDOT-approved timber rail systems with the full structural backing required to meet NCHRP Report 350 or MASH performance criteria.

Breckenridge is accessible year-round via SH-9, but guardrail construction is typically limited to June through mid-October by weather. Peak ski season (December–March) brings heavy traffic and snow that make lane closures impractical. CDOT Region 3 schedules SH-9 construction in the summer window.
