Ahem..A slight correction on U.S. 36 closure
Sep 23rd
Lyons, Colo. – As a follow-up to information provided yesterday, currently the only strict prohibition to traffic on U.S. 36 is westbound from Lyons. The closure is in effect from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. each day for ongoing road construction and includes all foot, vehicle and cycling traffic.
There is no vehicular access available to Pinewood Springs from Lyons or Blue Mountain.
Apple Valley Rd., Blue Mountain Rd. and Spring Gulch Rd. vehicle traffic is still permitted with the understanding that construction traffic is causing significant delays and unnecessary road trips will hamper progress on repairs. Residents in those areas are asked to severely limit travel during the timeframe of 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. in order to minimize congestion.
In addition, materials used in this project are being attained from the local quarries in the Blue Mountain area, causing greater traffic issues and traffic congestion. The community’s help and cooperation in giving CDOT crews room to complete their work is appreciated in order to keep the project on track and on pace for a timely completion.

Gov. Hickenlooper shuts down U.S. 36 west of Lyons
Sep 22nd
In a rather draconian move, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper announced this afternoon that the State of Colorado has contracted with a Colo. National Guard engineering company to rebuild U.S. 36 between Lyons and Estes Park. Work on the highway has begun from both directions – from the Town of Lyons and the Town of Estes Park – with similar equipment and crews working towards each other.
In an effort to expedite construction, all traffic on U.S. 36 west of Lyons is prohibited, effectively immediately.
Beginning Monday, all access to Apple Valley Rd will be severely restricted between the hours of 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
The closure applies to vehicular, cycling, and pedestrian traffic. The closures will specifically impact residents of Spring Gulch and Blue Mountain areas. Also, until this project is completed there will be no vehicular, cycling, or pedestrian access to Pinewood Springs.
At this time, there is no estimated timeline for completion of this project. We hope to be able to provide that information soon.
