The Georgetown curves on I-70 between the town and the Silver Plume interchange are among the most photographed — and most crash-prone — sections of the I-70 mountain corridor, where a sharp S-curve at 8,530 feet combines with a steep downgrade to create consistent guardrail impact events. Clear Creek County sits in CDOT Region 1, and our Erie headquarters is 55 miles east — the closest major guardrail contractor to this demanding section.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Georgetown S-curve on I-70 has a sharp horizontal curve combined with a 6% grade, limited sight distance, and is located immediately after the eastbound exit from the Eisenhower Tunnel where trucks regain speed on the descent. This geometry drives above-average guardrail impact rates documented in CDOT crash data, requiring frequent panel and post replacement.

CDOT has progressively upgraded Georgetown curve guardrail to MGS post spacing and MASH-compliant terminal ends through successive safety improvement projects funded under HSIP. The current standard for this section uses 6-foot post spacing with 8-foot embedment where rock conditions allow.

Yes. Georgetown is 55 miles from Erie via I-70, approximately one hour at non-peak travel. We can mobilize an emergency repair crew overnight and have the crew on-site before morning rush hour for most impact damage events.
