Due to Northwest Colorado’s unpredictable weather, work in the ROW can create several types of hazards for the traveling public, contractors, and their personnel. The condition of the highway can change quickly. Mud tracked onto the highway by equipment, or ice and snowpack are just a few of the conditions that make the roadway more hazardous for all concerned. The terrain within the ROW must be kept clear of hazards as well. Holes, trenches, equipment and materials can make the terrain “unrecoverable” for a driver should his/her vehicle leave the highway. Activities must be shut down when the roadway is other than dry. The use of frozen materials for backfilling will only lead to settlement. The contractor must make extra effort to compact the excavation. In the spring, any settlement of backfill shall be repaired. The re-vegetation shall take place yet this fall or early next spring.
