Boulder County-area cone zones for Sept. 4-9

The section of Hill Hotel known as Westbound Pleasant is accessible only for local traffic between Broadway and the alley. However, the eastbound lane is currently unavailable. This lane has been closed to facilitate the demolition of old structures as well as to carry out waterline and new sewer related tasks. The ongoing activities will take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. It is expected that this work will be completed by January 31.

- Construction has started on a brand-new hotel and conference center known as the Limelight Hotel. As a result, there will be a temporary road change on 13th Street, where traffic will only be allowed to flow in one direction from University to Grandview. Additionally, the section of Grandview from 13th to Broadway will also be affected, and parking will not be available in this area. - To accommodate the construction of a new turn lane on Broadway, the northbound lanes will be temporarily closed. During this time, traffic will be redirected to the southbound lane, which will now function as a two-lane road. - The construction activities will take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and are expected to continue until January 1st. (In summary, due to the construction of the Limelight Hotel, certain roads and parking areas will be affected. Traffic flow will be altered on 13th Street and Grandview, and a temporary turn lane construction will cause the closure of northbound lanes on Broadway.)

The state of Colorado is building the Firestone-Longmont Mobility Hub at the intersection of Interstate 25 and Colo. 119. Construction will take place during the day, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, with occasional nighttime work. There will be occasional lane closures on Colo. 119 and I-25, as well as closures of on- and off-ramps. The southbound I-25 on-ramp and the northbound off-ramp at Exit 240 will have lane restrictions of 11 feet. From Tuesday to Thursday, between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m., construction crews will be modifying the off-ramps for southbound and northbound traffic. The Colorado Department of Transportation will temporarily close the I-25 southbound and northbound off-ramps at Exit 240, as well as the Colo. 119 and southbound I-25 main line. The project is expected to be finished by August 2024.

—The Price Park Tank Replacement Project is currently in progress on Longs Peak Avenue. This project aims to enhance the quality and availability of water services in the city. Changes have been made to the traffic flow on Longs Peak Avenue, with both eastbound and westbound lanes now located adjacent to each other on the southern side of the road between Sunset Street and the entrance to the Sunset Golf Course. As a result, access to Price Park is currently unavailable, and parking in the Sunset Golf Course and Pool parking lot will be limited until the following spring. Despite these adjustments, recreational facilities such as Sunset Park, Sunset Pool, and Sunset Golf Course are expected to remain open throughout the construction period. Although two-way traffic is still allowed, the existing westbound lane is projected to remain closed, and the new traffic arrangement will persist until the project's completion in the spring.

The Colorado Department of Transportation is set to commence enhancing safety and traffic flow at the junction of U.S. 287 and Colo. 52 in Boulder County. Drivers should anticipate temporary closures of the left lanes on both U.S. 287 and Colo. 52 during daylight hours at the junction. Right-turn lanes going in all directions will remain shut for an indefinite period. Unrestricted access to roads, local establishments, and driveways will be preserved throughout the project. It is estimated that the project will be finalized by October.

Starting Monday, construction crews will begin replacing a culvert at the intersection of Colo. 170 and Marshall Road in Colorado. This includes removing the existing culvert and installing new wing walls beneath the road, as well as excavating and repairing the asphalt along the highway. The construction work will take place from Monday to Friday, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. During this time, there will be one lane closed and the shoulder of the road will also be closed along Colo. 170 and Marshall Road. Additionally, there will be 24-hour single lane closures with traffic signals in place. To avoid any potential delays or traffic congestion, it is recommended to use alternative routes along U.S. 36. The entire project is expected to be finished by November.

- Rehabilitation work on the Longmont Dam Road bridge is set to recommence in September. The ongoing project aims to restore the second bridge crossing over N. St. Vrain Creek located on Longmont Dam Road. During the weekdays, lane closures will occur during daylight hours specifically at the bridge site. Additionally, when the construction machinery is being relocated within the construction zone, there is a possibility of encountering lengthier delays.

—Sanitation road construction initiative: The replacement of culverts at Foothills Reservoir will commence on Monday, resulting in a complete closure of the road until December.

—Replacement of Left Hand water line: The Left Hand Water District is in the process of putting in a brand-new water line along North 63rd Street. To ensure the safe installation of the line, certain sections of 63rd Street between Niwot and Monarch roads will need to be temporarily closed at different intervals. These closures are estimated to continue until 2023.

—The stretch of road known as WCR 44 is currently not accessible for drivers traveling from southbound U.S. 85 to WCR 33.

—Road maintenance plan: Repairing with removing old pavement and overlaying new pavement will happen on Tipple Parkway from Colorado Boulevard to Ridgeway Boulevard, in Downtown Frederick, Morningside Estates, and other locations recognized as being in need of improvement.

Beginning on Wednesday, the QuikTrip project will construct a makeshift road parallel to Foster Ridge Drive to brace for the forthcoming shutdowns on both Foster Ridge Drive and Highland Drive. People can reach adjacent properties by utilizing the newly established temporary road.

—Repairing roads: Construction workers will start fixing damaged roads in the central part of Mead, mostly on Main Street, Dillingham Avenue, Fairbairn Avenue, Palmer Avenue, and Fifth Street. Once these repairs are finished, they will proceed to repair roads in the business area, WCR 32 (to the east of I-25), WCR 9.5, WCR 28, and Third Street (south of Welker Avenue). The progress of all road maintenance activities will be subject to weather conditions. The whole project is estimated to take around four weeks to complete.

—Filling cracks and applying slurry: The process of filling cracks and applying slurry will begin in the Hunters Cove area. To ensure safety during this road work, traffic control signs will be used, and trained individuals known as flaggers will be present. Please note that all street maintenance activities are subject to change based on weather conditions.

The Briggs Street irrigation relocation project will cause some disruptions to traffic and pedestrian access in the area. Construction crews will be working near the Edward Jones Investment Building at 212 Wells St. They will be digging up a section of Briggs Street to install a new irrigation meter vault and backflow preventer. This will also involve replacing parts of the sidewalk at the intersection of Wells Street and Briggs Street. During construction, a portion of Briggs Street and the sidewalk at the southwest corner of the intersection will be closed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. However, outside of these hours, the road and sidewalk will be fully accessible. The project is expected to be completed by September 20.

—Fixing concrete: There will be some fixing of the concrete on Erie Parkway, Countyline Road, and the Canyon Creek areas. This will happen until September 15, as long as the weather cooperates. From 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., crews will be working at different spots around the community. The main goal of these repairs is to make the sidewalks better, update the curbs, and take care of other important maintenance tasks. While this is going on, there may be some lane closures, limited parking, and the usual construction noise. So, be prepared for that.
