Vail Pass on I-70 rises to 10,662 feet between the town of Vail and Copper Mountain — one of the most congested and weather-sensitive mountain highway segments in the country, where guardrail condition is a direct life-safety issue at highway speeds on steep grades. CDOT Region 3 runs intensive maintenance contracts on this section, and our crews work Vail Pass guardrail repair under CDOT closures coordinated with CDOT's I-70 coalitioned stakeholders.
