CDOT moves weigh-in-motion equipment project to Limon station
The Colorado Department of Transportation moved the next phase of its weigh-in-motion equipment replacement project to the Limon Weigh Station, with work scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
The project replaces aging equipment used in interstate commercial-vehicle inspection and weighing operations. CDOT warned drivers to expect reduced speeds and minor delays while work takes place at the station in Lincoln County.
Work shifts from Fort Morgan to Limon
The Limon phase follows work at a facility near Fort Morgan. CDOT said the Fort Morgan phase was scheduled to wrap up before crews moved to Limon.
During the preceding Fort Morgan phase, traffic management included a half-mile single-lane closure that remained in place for 24 hours. That work was located five miles south of Fort Morgan at mile 75. Those details describe the earlier phase and do not establish the traffic setup for the Limon work.
CDOT identified the affected jurisdictions as Morgan and Lincoln counties. The Limon Weigh Station is tied to commercial-vehicle inspection and weighing along Interstate 70, making the project relevant to freight operators and other interstate travelers passing through the area.
What drivers should expect
CDOT’s warning calls for reduced speeds and minor delays rather than a full closure of the Limon station. Commercial drivers may encounter changes as the equipment is replaced, while other Interstate 70 travelers may see slower traffic near the facility.
The equipment is part of the state’s process for weighing and inspecting commercial vehicles. Replacing aging equipment is the stated purpose of the project, but the approved notice does not provide a projected completion date for the Limon portion.
No Limon completion date listed
CDOT’s notice was published July 1, 2026, ahead of the scheduled July 8 start. The available information does not identify a final date for the Limon work, and no newer August 2026 completion or disruption notice was located in the approved source material.
For now, the known next step is the start of the Limon station phase on July 8. Travelers and freight operators should account for the possibility of reduced speeds and minor delays near the station while the replacement work proceeds.
