NIGHTTIME I-70 VAIL OVERLAY PROJECT
A community meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 25 in the Town of Vail Council Chambers to
discuss the status of the I-70 overlay project. Residents, commuters, business owners and
others impacted by the construction are encouraged to attend and provide feedback. The
project includes replacement of inedian barriers, installation of variable message signs,
construction of a chain down station near the East Vail exit and a pavement overlay from Dowd
Junction to the East Vail exit. Construction began May 27 and will continue through August. To
reduce impacts identified during the previous construction season, the Colorado Department of
Transportation has made numerous changes to the project this year, including night
construction and improved traffic flows. Construction is occurring from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.
Sunday through Thursday. Motorists are asked to drive the posted speed limit to maintain a safe
construction site. Project updates are available by calling 970.476.4024 or by visiting
