On I-70, the daytime lane closures between Horizon Drive and Clifton are listed through 8 p.m. Friday, the Hanging Lake Tunnel lane closure was scheduled to end at noon Friday, and COtrip had nothing posted at either spot for the week of Nov. 9 when we read it Friday morning. CDOT has not announced that either job is finished. Everything below comes from the city, county or state agency running the job, current as of Friday morning, Nov. 6, when we also read [COtrip](https://www.cotrip.org/?ref=westernslopetrellis.com) for state highway closures. ![Map of Mesa, Garfield and Montrose counties in western Colorado with numbered pins marking this week's road work: the Fourth Street closure in downtown Grand Junction, the Patterson Road lane restriction at 25 Road starting Monday, I-70 paving between Horizon Drive and Clifton, 32½ Road in Clifton, the Palisade roundabout, Whiteriver Avenue in Rifle, 19th Street in Glenwood Springs, and Shavano Valley Road, Ida Road and 6000 Road in Montrose County.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/43/83/4383b645-7c65-42d3-bda1-343eadb07cf1/content/images/2026/11/wst-road-work-map-2026-11-09-v2.png) Road work across Mesa, Garfield and Montrose counties this weekend and the week of Nov. 9\.

The city's Friday traffic update also lists 25 Road as closed to southbound traffic between Flat Top Lane and Patterson Road, while the project page says 25 Road remains open to two-way traffic north of Patterson for business access.
