Crested Butte sits at 8,885 feet at the end of SH-135 in Gunnison County — a mountain highway that winds 30 miles north from Gunnison through the Slate River valley. The road to Crested Butte from Gunnison on SH-135 is one of CDOT Region 3's most scenic but also one of the most isolated mountain corridors, requiring contractors who can self-stage equipment for projects without easy re-supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

SH-135 uses W-beam guardrail on curves and bridge approaches throughout the Slate River valley. The lower sections through the valley have timber-post W-beam in agricultural areas, transitioning to strong-post systems on steeper terrain approaching Crested Butte. CDOT Region 3 manages this corridor from the Gunnison maintenance facility.

Crested Butte is approximately 145 miles from our Colorado Springs office via US-285 and US-50 through Gunnison. It is not accessible via any route under 130 miles from our offices. For extended projects, we stage equipment at Gunnison to eliminate the 28-mile daily drive on SH-135.

Resort access roads are managed by Gunnison County and by the resort itself, not CDOT. County road guardrail near Crested Butte Mountain Resort follows Gunnison County specifications. We perform county road guardrail work when mobilized to the Crested Butte area under county contracts.
