On Tuesday, CDOT crews paved a section of U.S. Highway 40 and Yampa Avenue.

Today, CDOT will be paving another section of Highway 40, at Colorado Highway 13 and Moffat County Road 7.

One lane of the highway was closed, and each direction of traffic was alternated through the work zone by flaggers.

From 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. today, crews will be rotomilling and paving the section of Highway 13 and County Road 7, which will require crews close one lane of the highway and alternate traffic through one direction at a time.
