Longmont Dam Road Bridge Rehabilitation

This project has been suspended until the fall of 2023 due to high water.

The second bridge over N. St. Vrain Creek on Longmont Dam Road is currently being rehabilitated. Expect daytime, weekday lane closures at the bridge through July. Longer delays may be experienced when equipment is being relocated in the construction area.

N. 71st Street – Winchester Circle to CO Hwy 52 – CLOSED through June

Phase II of the N. 71st Street Reconstruction Project is currently underway. This phase of the work requires a full closure of N. 71st Street between Winchester Circle/Gunbarrel Tech Center and CO Hwy 52/Mineral Road (see map) through June 2023. Learn more about the project and associated travel impacts on the project webpage.

Hygiene Road Paving Project starts May 22

Starting at 7 a.m. on Monday, May 22, the Road Maintenance Division will reconstruct all of Hygiene Road between US 36 and 75th Street. Work is expected to last through July, weather permitting. The entire road will be fully removed and rebuilt from the the ground up. Due to the full-depth reclamation, all travelers can expect significant delays during working hours, which are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Pilot cars will be used to safely move travelers around construction operations. Until it is repaved, the road will be in less than ideal conditions. Cyclists are encouraged to avoid this road until paving has been completed. Speeds will be reduced during the project.

US 36 – Boulder to Lyons -CDOT Resurfacing Project – May through August

This summer, CDOT will undertake a surface and safety improvement project on US 36 between Boulder and Lyons. Work will involve widening and resurfacing several sections of roadway. Work will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will require the use of through lane, turning lane, and shoulder closures, which will result in travel delays. There is also night work planned at various times throughout the project. This work will take place between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. and run through August, weather permitting. For more information:
