Does it have to be done during rush hour?

Just be glad its getting done at all, that person even being there likely took a lot of paperwork and red tape.

It might have been the sixth closure of the day that person was involved in.

Given the context youve provided and what little i know about the subject, its likely he was there to inspect all the work done and make sure it was done well. Better to close that one lane now then spend another ten years with that lane closed right?

Post-build they want to clean up the as-built docs and ensure they’re accurate.
That’s only one of probably many reasons they would close the lane.

It was probably a accident or incident that resulted in a death. They may have been collecting evidence. There are even some police in my area that uses conventional land surveying equipment and rapid high density laser scanners. Precise measurements of things like skids marks and other evidence of how the vehicles came to rest can be used to estimate initial speeds and confirm or refute the testimony of witnesses.

But it’ll all be worth it once they get around to updating the website in a few months!

Nah, I ask CDOT to close the highway for me all the time, just to get in the way of people like OP!
They just do it, don’t even ask me why.

There’s no way
Edit: dammit. I’m posting this from the highway after asking CDOT to close it down. They didn’t even ask me why
