• Description:
  When Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) learned the State had triggered the High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR) Special Rule (SR) in 2017, the agency identified an innovative way to obligate its HRRR funds. In 2017, CDOT, Chaffee County, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) joined forces with a common goal of improving safety along County Road 306, which is a curvy, high mountain pass road in south-central Colorado. Classified as a rural local road, County Road 306 carries less than 2,000 vehicles per day, with portions of the road closed during the winter season.
