Cultural Resources Program

CDOT has supported history and archaeology compliance programs since 1974, both of which are included within the framework of Cultural Resources. Historical and archaeological investigations entail the documentation, interpretation and preservation of cultural resources that are evaluated as significant in the context of our shared historic and prehistoric heritage. Cultural resource research is undertaken by in-house CDOT professional staff and private consultants for all state and federally funded transportation construction and maintenance projects that require substantial ground disturbance.
