No.
While the Colorado Department of Transportation removed more than 100 live cameras from state highways last summer, roughly 1,000 remain and the department is moving to expand its surveillance of state roads.
In all, CDOT removed 136 cameras after their contract with the operator, LiveView Technologies, lapsed in July.
The department has since replaced 11 with its own cameras and plans to install an additional 68, most of which will capture still frames, by late 2027. Most of the cameras removed were located along Interstate 70 and mountain roads, and allowed motorists to monitor traffic and road conditions. The state uses the cameras to assist with law enforcement and to track crashes and other road disruptions.
CDOT ended the LiveView contract due to “cost and contract limitations,” according to a department spokesperson. CDOT has budgeted $8 million for the installation of replacement cameras.
