Past Construction Project: Work on the Big Meadows Project began June 2005 and was completed May 24, 2006.  The project area includes US 160 from the Big Meadows Reservoir access (mm 174.7) extending east for approximately one-half mile towards the Lake Fork Trailhead.  Construction crews removed rock to widen lanes and shoulders to meet current federal safety standards.

Construction Activity Complete : The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and contractor Kiewit Western Companies have completed their work on US 160 on the east side of Wolf Creek Pass. Like the last phase of construction near Fun Valley, this current phase has also been completed a month ahead of schedule. Work had initially been scheduled for completion in July. This third phase of construction on the pass began on June 6, 2005, and work was suspended over the winter months. The project included a one-half mile stretch of US 160 east of the new tunnel, from the Big Meadows Reservoir access road (mile marker 174.7) east. Crews blasted and removed rock, widening the lanes (to 12 feet) and shoulders (to 8 feet) and upgrading guardrail to meet current federal safety standards.

Commercial Vehicles: Travel restrictions for the pass have been lifted. Oversize loads will not encounter any restrictions or delays related to project construction.
