Crowley County, Colorado

Welcome to our County!

Crowley County is one of Colorado’s best places to relax and unwind. Fishing, camping, boating, jet skiing, bird watching, bicycling, you name it we got it. In many ways, Crowley County is Colorado as it was intended to be.

Crowley County is located in the high plains of Southeast Colorado. Ordway, the County seat, lies about 50 miles east of Pueblo at the intersection of U.S. Highway 96 and Colorado Highway 71. Crowley County is a rural community with a diverse population. Many residents are a blend of ranchers and farmers, those involved in government and education, and many who are employed by the correctional industry. Due to the mild climate, easy lifestyle and low cost of living, Crowley County is a great place to live.

Roadway Widening Project set to begin on Feb. 24

Project Announcement -
Roadway Widening Project set to begin on Feb. 24

 The project will occur between Rocky Ford and Ordway along CO 71

Otero and Crowley Counties — The Colorado Department of Transportation, with its contract partner Pyramid Construction, Inc.,  will begin roadway widening work on Feb. 24 between Rocky Ford. Work will occur along Colorado Highway 71, north of County Road HH 5 and south of Bob Creek, Mile Point 18.75 to MP 20.75.

Work will primarily consist of installing a passing lane, sign & delineator installation, new fence installation and pavement markings. Work will be done in the northbound and southbound lanes for a two-mile stretch of CO 71. The project will provide a safe passing zone with new pavement markings throughout the work area. Widening these passing lanes will ensure proper slope and drainage from the center line.

Traffic Impacts 

Beginning Feb. 24, motorists will encounter road work on CO 71 between Road HH 5 and Bob Creek. Traffic impacts will include:

  • Daytime work hours range from 30 minutes after sunrise (approx. 7 a.m.) to 30 minutes before sunset (approx. 4:30 p.m.) Monday through Friday and potentially some Saturday work.
  • Vehicles will be reduced to a single-lane, alternating traffic intermittently in either direction throughout the duration of the project. 
  • Lane closures, guided by flaggers and traffic control devices, will have up to 15-minute delays. 
  • The speed limit will be reduced to 45 mph through the work zone with flaggers and 50 mph without flaggers.
  • The project is expected to last through the end of July.
