Colorado Department of Transportation to install 66 new rural traffic cameras
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is moving forward with a project to install 66 new traffic cameras on rural roads across the state. The initiative aims to provide maintenance crews and travelers with real-time information regarding road and weather conditions, particularly on mountain passes and stretches of the Eastern Plains.
While the project is currently ahead of its original estimated pace at several sites, CDOT spokesperson Stacia Sellers noted that no new cameras will be active by this winter. The full rollout is expected to be completed by fall 2027. Current work focuses on groundwork, including laying conduit and pouring caissons for foundations.
This project serves as a replacement for cameras removed last summer following the expiration of a contract with LiveView. Planned locations for the new equipment include U.S. Highway 6 at Loveland Pass, U.S. Highway 9 near Silverthorne, and U.S. Highway 40 at both Berthoud Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass.
