Salida is positioned between the Royal Gorge canyon of US-50 to the east and Monarch Pass to the west — two of the most demanding highway barrier environments in CDOT Region 2. The canyon section of US-50 through the Royal Gorge has narrow roadway and cliff-edge exposures requiring specialized barrier anchor systems, while Monarch Pass uses mountain highway W-beam on sustained 9% grades.

Frequently Asked Questions

In the most constrained sections of the Royal Gorge, standard post embedment is impossible due to bedrock within inches of the surface. CDOT Region 2 uses rock-anchor barrier systems — W-beam with concrete deadman anchors or drilled rock anchors — to achieve the required lateral resistance without standard post embedment.

US-50 near Salida has impact attenuators at the US-50/US-285 junction in Poncha Springs and at culvert and bridge headwall exposures along the Arkansas River. CDOT Region 2 has upgraded attenuators at several Chaffee County locations through HSIP safety improvement grants.

Salida is approximately 95 miles from Colorado Springs via US-24 and US-285. We can mobilize to Salida within two hours and serve the Chaffee County US-50 and US-285 corridors for both emergency repair and planned installation work under CDOT Region 2 contracts.
