Travel Impacts
95th Street (Valmont to Lookout Road) Reconstruction and Flood Safety Improvements – UNDERWAY – FULL ROADWAY CLOSURE (24/7) NOW IN PLACE THROUGH DECEMBER
95th Street between Valmont and Lookout roads will see significant construction activity starting in April 2024 and lasting into early 2025. The project will be completed in two phases. The first phase (NOW COMPLETE), was the reconstruction of the roadway (currently underway). The second phase (underway), which is the construction of a large new culvert system, requires a full roadway closure starting Monday, Aug. 26 through December. Specific information is available on the project webpage. In addition, a new traffic signal and intersection configuration will be created at Lookout Road and 95th Street. This project will be undertaken at the same time as phase one of the 95th Reconstruction Project. Expect daytime, weekday lane shifts with short travel delays at the intersection.
Jay Road (CO 119 to 63rd Street) and Area Roads Paving Project
Jay Road, and three additional roads in the area (see below), will be repaved and restriped between CO 119 and 63rd Street starting on September 20. Work will require daytime, weekday lane closures and traffic shifts, so expect delays. During the week of Sept. 23, working hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. The longer days will allow the crew to finish Jay Road and move on to the other area roads. Flaggers will be used to safely move travelers around construction. More details will be provided before work commences. The project is anticipated to last into November, weather permitting. Other roads in the vicinity of Jay that will also be repaved include:
- 55th Street between Jay Road and CO 119
- 57th Street between Jay and Independence roads
- Independence Road between CO 119 and 57th Street
120th Street CLOSURE for Willoughby Corner Housing Project Starts Sept. 9

East County Line Road – Zlaten Drive to St. Vrain Creek – Reconstruction Project Underway – Work requires a FULL ROAD CLOSURE STARTING OCT. 21
Starting October 15, Public Works will rebuild East County Line Road between Zlaten Drive and St. Vrain Creek in order to widen the road and reduce some of the hills to increase safety for all travelers. The new road will include seven-foot wide paved shoulders in order to connect cyclists and pedestrians to the City of Longmont’s St. Vrain Trailhead. In order to complete this work, East County Line Road will need to be closed between Zlaten and Quicksilver for one month starting on Oct. 21 due to a significant amount of dirt removal required for the new roadway configuration. Before and after the closure period, expect single-lane closures during daytime, weekday working hours. Detours will be established during the road closure. Visit the project webpage for more information.
