Other road work in SE Colorado, people might be interested in, Hwy 71, between Ordway (Crowley County) and Rocky Ford (Otero) is closed all spring and summer (I believe) -- they are repairing the bridge over the Arkansas River there. This isn't a big deal, unless you need to get from Lake Henry or Lake Meredith, to Rocky Ford in a hurry, then it could be an issue.
The know the birding hordes will be invading SE Colorado in early May, as usual.
