Under current law, if maintenance, repair, or construction activities
are occurring or will occur within 4 hours on a portion of a state highway, the Colorado department of transportation (department) is permitted, but not required, to designate the portion of the highway as a highway maintenance, repair, or construction zone.
The bill: •
Removes the 4-hour time period relating to maintenance, repair, or construction activities that will occur on a portion of a state highway; and
•
Requires the department to designate a portion of a state highway on which construction activities are occurring as a highway construction zone.
