Resurfacing work on I-70 eastbound in Glenwood Canyon, east of Hanging Lake Tunnel, has been completed ahead of schedule. Contractor Interstate Highway Construction of Englewood had a contract with the Colorado Dept. of Transportation for a 94-working-day project and completed the work in 78.5 days—or 15.5 days early. With a $6,000/day early completion incentive offered by CDOT, IHC will earn an incentive of $93,000 for the accelerated work.


“We implement early-completion incentives on projects with high public and community impact, like this one in the canyon,” says CDOT Program Engineer Joe Elsen. “IHC not only completed the work early, but presented a high-quality project as well.”
