La Junta sits at the junction of US-50 and US-350 in Otero County — a two-highway hub in the Arkansas River valley where CDOT Region 6 maintains guardrail on both routes through terrain that shifts from irrigated agricultural land near the river to drier, caliche-soil rangeland away from the valley. Adarand Constructors in Colorado Springs is 100 miles northwest via I-25 and US-50, making us the primary CDOT-prequalified contractor available to serve this corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

US-50 through La Junta and Otero County uses weak-post timber W-beam at lower-volume rural sections and strong-post steel W-beam at bridge approaches and curve hazard locations. CDOT Region 6 issues maintenance contracts for panel and post replacement on a multi-year cycle for this corridor.

US-350 between La Junta and Trinidad climbs through Las Animas County with guardrail at bridge crossings of Timpas Creek and the Purgatoire River, and W-beam on curve sections approaching Trinidad. We serve this corridor under CDOT Region 6 and Region 2 contracts depending on location.

Caliche hardpan in Otero County can form a solid layer as shallow as 8–12 inches below grade. Standard post-driving equipment will not penetrate caliche. We use pneumatic caliche breakers or hydraulic augers to penetrate the hardpan before driving or setting posts, then backfill with compacted native material to restore lateral resistance.
