Traffic Alert: Bridge Replacement on SR-13 (US-43) over Cold Creek north of Creola

Apr 30, 2026

Motorists traveling on SR-13 (US-43) north of Creola should expect traffic impacts as crews continue bridge replacement work over Cold Creek.

The project is using Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC)—a method that allows crews to build major bridge components off-site and install them quickly, reducing overall construction time and traffic disruption.

Why it matters

  • Shorter construction timeline
  • Fewer long-term lane closures
  • Reduced traffic delays

Traffic impacts

  • Intermittent lane closures now in effect
  • Lane shifts and additional closures begin May 26, 2026
  • Periodic slowdowns through the work zone

Project timeline

  • Estimated completion: Late Summer to early Fall 2027

Motorists are urged to drive with caution, follow posted signage, and obey reduced speed limits in the work zone.
