Boulder falls and mountain closed
Oct 27th
Flagstaff Summit and Boulder Falls closed for the winter
The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) announces the annual closure of Flagstaff Summit to vehicular traffic and Boulder Falls to all visitors. These closures have been put into in effect as of Oct. 26 due to the recent heavy snowfall. Both facilities will reopen on May 1, 2012.
Flagstaff Summit Road has been closed at Realization Point. This is an annual closure to allow wildlife on the summit to have a less stressful winter. Also, the road from Realization Point to the summit is narrow and can be icy and dangerous during the winter. It is not maintained for vehicle access. Visitors will still be able to walk or bike to the summit. Dogs must be on leash on the road.
Boulder Falls has also been closed for the season. This trail can be very icy and dangerous for most of the winter due to the buildup of snow and ice on the trail tread. The falls can still be viewed from State Hwy. 119.

Valmont Road reconstruction underway
Daytime closures start Sept. 28
Boulder County, Colo. – The Boulder County Transportation Department has begun the reconstruction of Valmont Road between 75th and 95th streets.
Construction and significant delays are expected to last through mid-November. Cyclists and motorists are encouraged to use detours to avoid delays.
Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 28, Valmont Road will be closed between 75th and 95th streets to all vehicles, including bicycles, on weekdays only (Monday-Friday) from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The daytime closures will be in effect until Nov. 8.
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.
All vehicles should expect variable pavement conditions, significant construction activity and potential delays along Valmont Road for the duration of the project.
“Valmont Road is one of the gateway corridors within the county,” construction supervisor Joe Bath said. “This project will be a major improvement to the road and will enhance safety for all forms of traffic.”
The Valmont Shoulders and Roadway Reconstruction project includes the complete removal and replacement of the existing asphalt pavement along with the addition of paved shoulders to each edge of the road.
The City of Boulder’s trail connection to the Teller Lake trailhead will also be reconstructed and the trail crossing of Valmont Road improved. The Teller Lake trail and trailhead will be closed sometime in early October to accommodate that portion of the project work.
Schedules are subject to change. Message boards are located in the area to alert residents of any construction schedule changes and additional information is available at www.BoulderCounty.org/Transportation. Contact Tim Swope at tswope@bouldercounty.org to be added to the notification email list.
