In July 2013, the Colorado Department of Transportation rolled into place the new I-70/Pecos Street Bridge, a project supported by $4.38 million in federal funds. By building the bridge off site and then sliding it into place overnight -- a technique advocated by FHWA's Every Day Counts initiative -- CDOT was able to keep the highway lanes open as long as possible and limit closure to a single weekend. In fact, crews completed the roll-in and cleanup 4.5 hours ahead of an already ambitious schedule, further minimizing inconvenience to travelers.
