From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10, both directions of Arapahoe Avenue will be closed to traffic between 15^th and 17^th streets while the City of Boulder reconstructs the roadway into concrete. During the closure, eastbound traffic will be detoured onto 15^th Street and then onto Canyon Boulevard, with the option to return onto eastbound Arapahoe Avenue via 17^th Street.  Traffic delays are expected until the eastbound lane of Arapahoe Avenue is reopened after 5 p.m.

Eastbound Arapahoe Avenue between 17^th and Folsom streets will remain open, businesses along Arapahoe Avenue will remain open, and the Boulder Farmers’ Market will remain at its current location. Travelers are encouraged to walk or bike along the Boulder Creek Path, ride buses, or use Canyon Boulevard and the downtown parking garages if driving.

The one-day full closure between 15^th and 17^th streets is a final step in the first phase of the Arapahoe Avenue Reconstruction project. Phase two is scheduled to begin on Saturday, Aug. 17, when westbound Arapahoe Avenue will be reopened to traffic, and will continue through May 2014. During phase two of the reconstruction, Arapahoe Avenue will have intermittent daytime lane closures; travel in both directions will remain open throughout. The JUMP bus will remain on Arapahoe Avenue, but there may be temporary bus stop closures. Phase two includes irrigation relocation and construction of curbs, gutters, driveways, and sidewalks.

By fall 2014, Arapahoe Avenue will be reconstructed into concrete between Folsom and 15^th streets, along with additional enhancements. For more information, call 303-441-3266 or visit www.bouldertransportation.net and select “Arapahoe Avenue Reconstruction.”
