Colorado Dept. of Transportation (CDOT)

A state agency responsible for a 9,161 mile highway system, including 3,775 bridges. Each year, this system handles over 28.6 billion vehicle miles of travel. Although the Interstate system accounts for only about 10 percent (915 miles) of the total mileage on the state system, 40 percent of all travel takes place on our Interstate highways.  CDOT’s highway construction program attracts  private contractors and the low bidder is awarded the project and in turn is responsible for construction of that project. This partnership between government (CDOT) and business works well as we improve and expand our transportation system.
