Colorado River Connectivity Channel at Windy Gap Reservoir

Colorado River Connectivity Channel at Windy Gap in Grand County was a high-profile, regionally significant project with multiple stakeholders and funding sources aimed at improving the deteriorating fishery area affected by the Windy Gap Reservoir, constructed in 1980. CEI led as the Construction Manager/General Contractor for the project that involved extensive earthwork to reconstruct a dam embankment to facilitate the construction of the reconnection of the Colorado River. The completed project promotes a more sustainable environment and healthier fishery.
