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.

City of Longmont officials are also requesting that residents in neighborhoods and subdivisions south of Quail Road between Main Street and 119th Street due to flooding along Dry Creek. They are asked to evacuate to Niwot high School.
National Guard troops will be gathering with heavy, high-clearance vehicles on Highway 66 west of Longmont to assess the highway into the Town of Lyons and determine if it is safe and possible to enter and take out people who have been trapped there since Wednesday. All roads into and out of Lyons have been washed out or underwater for the past two days.
Officials urge all Boulder County residents to stay home if at all possible. And if they must drive, do not cross any standing or moving water in roadways.

Arapahoe Avenue closed between 15th and 17th streets on Saturday
Aug 9th
From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10, both directions of Arapahoe Avenue will be closed to traffic between 15th and 17th streets while the City of Boulder reconstructs the roadway into concrete. During the closure, eastbound traffic will be detoured onto 15th Street and then onto Canyon Boulevard, with the option to return onto eastbound Arapahoe Avenue via 17th Street. Traffic delays are expected until the eastbound lane of Arapahoe Avenue is reopened after 5 p.m.
Eastbound Arapahoe Avenue between 17th 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 15th and 17th 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 15th streets, along with additional enhancements. For more information, call 303-441-3266 or visit www.bouldertransportation.net and select “Arapahoe Avenue Reconstruction.”
