The rock fall occurred in Glenwood Canyon, which is in Garfield County, around 2:30 a.m. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) crews flagged traffic throughout the day as they worked to clear boulders. A second slide incident in the same location occurred at 9:03 p.m. that night. About an hour later, CDOT fully closed I-70 through the canyon for safety. Initially, CDOT’s geohazards team was on the site and also evaluated the location by hel- icopter. They determined that there was dam- age to the roadway, retaining wall, bridge and guardrail. A semi-truck was caught in the second slide and disabled, but no injuries were reported.

As part of the conditions for lifting the suspension for cause, STP will be permitted to tunnel forward and install approximately 25 concrete tunnel rings.

In a letter to lawmakers coordinated by Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) and delivered on April 18, 23 national asso- ciations urged members of the House and Senate to swiftly reauthorize and improve programs designed to help train technical workers. The groups praised Congress for recently passing transportation and tax bills but said the difficulty recruiting workers threatened to undermine the economic benefits. “By restoring near-term certainty to feder- al transportation programs and tax policy through passage of the FAST and PATH Acts in late 2015, Congress has set the stage for growth in construction, manufacturing, and business purchasing,” the letter said. “However, as companies prepare to take advantage of new opportunities, they are confronted with a new challenge: a shortage of skilled technical workers.” The letter from construction, contractor, supplier and labor organizations highlighted the stark findings of a recently-released study sponsored by the AED Foundation. That report, prepared by researchers at the College of William and Mary, found the equipment technician shortage is costing dealers approximately $2.4 billion per year in lost revenue and economic activity.
