US-40 over Rabbit Ears Pass connects the Denver metro to Steamboat Springs at 9,426 feet, crossing terrain that receives 400+ inches of annual snowfall and remains snow-packed for five months of the year. Guardrail on this corridor must withstand seasonal plowing cycles that repeatedly contact barrier faces, requiring robust post embedment and hardware torquing that our mountain corridor crews build into standard practice.
