LYONS, Colo. (CBS4)- Nearly a decade after devastating floods ripped through parts of Colorado, repairs on Highway 7 through Lyons are finally complete. The Colorado Department of Transportation has worked to make the highway more resilient in case of another flood.

This infrastructure project is the final flood recovery project.
