U.S. Route 491, US-160 to US-160

 

Location: US-160 and 5th St, Cortez

No reassurance shield as we head out of Cortez

Location: US-160 and McElmo St, Montezuma Cty

As we head all the way out of Cortez, we’ll get a reassurance shield with 491 patch over 666.

Location: US-160 and Mike Wash Rd, Montezuma Cty

As we pass through the Ute lands, we’ll get another reassurance shield. US-491 isn’t signed much through here. Not sure if it’s a function of the route having used to be US-666 which was sporadically signed to prevent theft or just Colorado hating concurrencies, as it so often does.
