The Colorado Department of Transportation’s U.S. Highway 6 and Post Boulevard roundabout project in Avon will resume work April 21. This project is a joint venture between the Colorado Department of Transportation, the town of Avon, EagleVail Metropolitan District, Eagle County and the Federal Highway Administration.
Resuming work on the project includes landscaping, roadway striping and other clean up items. Working hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Travelers should plan for five to 10-minute delays.
Completion is expected by mid-June, though dates are weather-dependent and may change.
The goal of this project is to physically slow vehicles entering the roundabout to enhance pedestrian and motor vehicle safety, efficiency and mobility for all users.
The original design of the roundabout permitted excessively high driving speeds and lacked directional guidance, resulting in a higher amount of crashes compared to other similar roundabouts.
