Construction-Related Travel Impacts
Chip Seal Project Starts July 6 on Roads in Northern Boulder County
On July 6, Road Maintenance will start chip sealing work on several roads north of Highway 66. This work will result in lane closures and reduced speeds during daytime, weekday working hours, which are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Please maintain posted speed limits to avoid getting oil on vehicles from freshly sealed roads. Cyclists are encouraged to avoid freshly sealed roads as the surface will be rough until chips are compacted and excess material is swept. Striping work will follow chip sealing work. Learn more about chip sealing.
