CDOT soliciting input on U.S. 385 upgrades

     The Colorado Department of Transportation and its consultants, Benesch and Stolfus & Associates, will host two open house meetings for the general public to allow input on a preliminary list of improvement projects for U.S. Highway 385.
     The first will be Thursday, Feb. 21, at the Burlington Community Center, 340 S. 14th Street, Burlington. The second will be Wednesday, Feb. 27, at the Phillips County Event Center. Both meetings will run from 5:30-7 p.m.
     The organizations are currently in the midst of a U.S. 385 Safety Assessment and Prioritization Study. The High Plains Highway is a 222-mile corridor that begins near Kit Carson and ends at I-80 in Nebraska.
     In Colorado, the corridor goes through Cheyenne, Kit Carson, Yuma, Phillips and Sedgwick counties and includes the towns of Kit Carson, Cheyenne Wells, Burlington, Wray, Holyoke and Julesburg. It was identified as a corridor connector in the Eastern Colorado Mobility Study.
