Paving to continue this weekend on Valmont Road
Boulder County, Colo. – Taking advantage of the warm weather, the Boulder County Transportation Department will complete late-season paving projects this weekend on Valmont and Isabelle roads.
Valmont Road will be closed to through traffic between 75th and 95th streets from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 11 and 12. Local traffic, deliveries and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the closure.
Although paving will be complete, roadside activity will continue along Valmont Road project through the remainder of the year. Road users should continue to exercise caution and expect minor delays as crews finish up the project.
The repaving of Isabelle Road east of 95th Street will begin on Monday, Nov. 14 and continue for two weeks. Road users should expect on-going construction, uneven road surfaces, and travel delays through Thanksgiving week, weather permitting.
All schedules are subject to change due to weather or other mitigating factors. Updates are available at www.BoulderCounty.org/Transportation.
