US-160 stretches from Walsenburg across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at La Veta Pass (9,413 ft), through the wide San Luis Valley, and over Wolf Creek Pass (10,856 ft) before descending to Durango — a 230-mile corridor covering three CDOT regions and terrain that shifts from high alpine to semi-arid valley. Adarand Constructors in Colorado Springs works CDOT Region 2 contracts along the eastern end of this corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wolf Creek Pass receives the highest annual snowfall of any Colorado highway pass — averaging 465 inches per year. Guardrail foundations must be designed for a 48-inch frost depth, and construction windows at the summit are limited to roughly 90 days between late June and September. CDOT Region 5 requires site-specific erosion control plans for all work on Wolf Creek Pass.

Yes. The San Luis Valley section of US-160 is flatter terrain with high wind exposure — sustained winds of 50+ mph are common, requiring wind-load calculations for sign structures and higher-embedment guardrail posts. We perform W-beam guardrail and cable barrier work on rural US-160 under CDOT maintenance contracts.

Yes. Walsenburg and the eastern US-160 corridor in Huerfano County are approximately 95 miles south of our Colorado Springs office. We can mobilize to this area within two hours and perform CDOT Region 2 maintenance work along I-25 and connecting routes in this area.
