Weekday closures of Cherryvale Road in effect
Aug 2nd
The closures include Old Tale Road at Arapahoe and McSorley Lane and Dimmit Drive between Gapter Road and Cherryvale. Pedestrians and bicycles are allowed on Dimmit.
Detours on 55th and 75th streets are in effect and marked with signage. Accommodations have been made to allow passage of emergency vehicles and school buses along with local traffic and delivery vehicles to homes within the work zone.
The closures are to allow for the timely completion of the Cherryvale Road reconstruction project.
“Cherryvale is a busy road,” Boulder County Transportation Planner Tim Swope said. “We’ve been getting much of the construction done with traffic, but we need two weeks of no daytime traffic in order to finish the remaining tasks. Our goal is to have most of the major construction done by the time school starts in mid-August.”
Boulder County anticipates completing final asphalt paving and road and shoulder striping during the closure. Final support shoulders, roadside grading, construction of a six-foot pedestrian path between Cherryvale and Reserve Drive, and landscaping will likely be completed once the road has reopened to traffic.
All construction is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 1, barring weather delays or unforeseen circumstances.
Once completed, the project will result in a new roadway, improved drainage, five-foot bicycle shoulders and a new soft-surface pedestrian path alongside the Cherryvale Road between Reserve Drive and Arapahoe Road.
Schedules are subject to change. Message boards are located in the area to alert residents of any construction schedule changes. Visit www.BoulderCounty.org/Transportation or contact Tim Swope at 720-564-2658 or tswope@bouldercounty.org for additional information and updates.

Boulder County, Colo. – As improvements to Lee Hill Drive continue, the Boulder County Transportation Department will close the road from March 21-25 and April 4-7 to perform substantial work on the retaining walls and drainage culverts.
Access to Olde Stage Road from the city of Boulder will be cut off during these closures:
• Monday, March 21 through Friday, March 25. Lee Hill Drive will be closed south of Wagon Wheel Gap Road (between Wagon Wheel and Fourth Street) during daytime hours only (8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.). The closure is to accommodate rockwork on the hillside above the roadway along with retaining wall construction. No vehicles (including both bicycles and cars) will be allowed be allowed through the construction area. Wagon Wheel Gap Road will remain accessible from the north.
• Monday, April 4 through Thursday, April 7. Lee Hill Drive will be closed north of Wagon Wheel Gap Road (between Wagon Wheel and Olde Stage Road) 24 hours a day from 8:30 a.m. on April 4 until 4 p.m. on April 7. The closure may be extended until Friday if there are utility conflicts. The closure is to allow for the replacement of a large drainage culvert north of Wagon Wheel. No vehicles (including both bicycles and cars) will be allowed access between Wagon Wheel Gap Road and Olde Stage Road. Wagon Wheel will remain accessible from the south.
Both closures are tentative and are subject to change due to weather and/or other unanticipated factors. Even during the 24-hour closure, the road will be made accessible to emergency vehicles and responders should the need arise.
