The Colorado Department of Transportation and prime contractor, Siete Inc., will begin a wall replacement project along westbound I-70 in Dowd Canyon on Monday, May 6. Work will take place from Mile Marker 169.5 to MM 171.5 in Eagle County between Eagle-Vail and West Vail. Crews will remove portions of the existing earth wall above US 6 at MM 170.5 and replace it with a new Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall. Additional light paving, guardrail installations, striping and electrical work will also take place through the project zone. The project will not only protect the future integrity of the roadway, but will also enhance the aesthetics of the corridor for a safer and more enjoyable driving experience.
