Colorado transportation leaders are poised Thursday to set aside $25 million for emergency road repairs and repaving on mountain highways torn up byThat request for road-repair money from the Colorado Department of Transportation — which will target trouble spots onand other routes — comes as it also asks for $19.6 million to plug its strained snow-plowing budget.
