The Colorado Department of Transportation will begin chain-up station improvements today on Monarch Pass.
The project will involve existing chain station locations on U.S. 50 between mile points 189 â near Sargents â and 211 â Maysville â in Chaffee, Gunnison, and Saguache counties.
âCDOT places a high priority on highway projects that help our commercial trucks roll smoothly along key corridors like U.S. 50,â Shoshana Lew, CDOT executive director, said in a press release.
âIt is critical that trucks chain up in winter storm events when Coloradoâs chain law is enforced.
âChain-up stations provide a safe place for drivers to fit snow chains onto (or off) their truck tires.â
