Boulder County, Colo. - Beginning at 5 a.m. on Wednesday, May 6, through 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, Colorado Highway 52 will be temporarily closed to all traffic between Colorado Highway 119/Diagonal Highway and 71st Street.

This closure is required to connect CO 52 to the realigned CO 119 and switch the signals and railroad crossing over to the new alignment as part of the CO 119 Safety, Mobility and Bikeway Improvements Project.

During the closure, motorists will be directed to follow signed detour routes. There will not be a separate signed detour for cyclists. Cyclists are encouraged to use an alternate route while the closure is in place.

Detour Routes

For alternate access, travelers should use US Highway 287 (via Ken Pratt Boulevard in Longmont or Colorado Highway 7 in Boulder) to detour around the closure.
