Glenwood Canyon on I-70 between Glenwood Springs and Dotsero is one of the most complex highway guardrail environments in North America — a 12-mile corridor carved through 2,000-foot sheer rock walls

Glenwood Canyon on I-70 between Glenwood Springs and Dotsero is one of the most complex highway guardrail environments in North America — a 12-mile corridor carved through 2,000-foot sheer rock walls with the Colorado River below, four tunnels, multiple bridges, and no emergency shoulder on much of the roadway. CDOT has strict protocols for all work in Glenwood Canyon, and contractors working here must have documented mountain highway experience.

All work requires CDOT I-70 operational coordination and may be suspended with short notice. Work zone setups in the canyon must use Type III barriers due to the absence of standard shoulder clearance.
