Paving Operations on C-470 to Resume Next Week Following the Holiday Weekend

July 2, 2010 - TRAFFIC ADVISORY - Denver Metro Colorado/CDOT Region 6 - DOUGLAS/JEFFERSON COUNTY— The holiday weekend will shutdown paving operations on C-470 between I-25 and Santa Fe Drive until Tuesday, July 6th. As a result, there will not be any lane closures on C-470 this weekend, but lane closures will resume next week.

The following closures will take place Tuesday, July 6th through Thursday, July 8th, weather permitting:

Tuesday, July 6th:

  • Westbound C-470 between Yosemite Street and Quebec Street: One lane of westbound C-470 will be closed starting at 8 p.m. on Tuesday and continuing until 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
  • Eastbound C-470 between Colorado Boulevard to Yosemite Street: One lane of eastbound C-470 will be closed starting at 8 p.m. on Tuesday and continuing until 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

Wednesday, July 7th:

  • Westbound C-470 between Yosemite Street and Quebec Street: One lane of westbound C-470 will be closed starting at 8 p.m. on Wednesday and continuing until 5:30 a.m. on Thursday.
  • Eastbound C-470 between Santa Fe Drive and Lucent Boulevard: One lane of eastbound C-470 will be closed starting at 8 p.m. on Wednesday and continuing until 5:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Thursday, July 8th:

  • Westbound C-470 between Quebec Street and Colorado Boulevard: One lane of westbound C-470 will be closed starting at 8 p.m. on Thursday and continuing until 5:30 a.m. on Friday.
  • Eastbound C-470 between Lucent Boulevard and Broadway: One lane of eastbound C-470 will be closed starting at 8 p.m. on Thursday and continuing until 5:30 a.m. on Friday.

Delays are expected during work hours and alternate routes are strongly advised.  CDOT would like to remind motorists to obey all traffic signs and flaggers and to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”  Fines for most infractions that occur in the work zone will be doubled.

Concrete repairs on the C-470 bike trail will continue next week between Kipling Parkway and Wadsworth Boulevard from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.  For safety reason, bicyclists will need to dismount from their bicycles to get around the work zone.

This work is part of an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) project.  The $32 million project will repair concrete along nine miles of C-470 and then pave the entire length in asphalt.  Concrete repairs will also be made along 26 miles of the C-470 bike path between I-25 and I-70.

Castle Rock Construction Co. of Centennial, CO is the contractor for this project, which is scheduled to be complete by the end of September 2010.

In all, Colorado received nearly $400 million from the Recovery Act for highway projects and $121 million for transit projects.  For more information about how Colorado is putting the recovery act to work, visit www.colorado.gov/recovery.
