The City of Grand Junction announced on Mar. 27 a series of upcoming road closures and traffic restrictions scheduled for the week of March 30, affecting several key routes in the area.
These projects are expected to impact local drivers and pedestrians, with detours and lane reductions planned as part of ongoing construction and improvement efforts.
Among city-led projects, the Four Canyons Parkway Project will result in the closure of the intersection at 25 Road and Waite Avenue from April 1 through April 8. Additionally, 25 Road will be closed from Blichmann to Waite Avenue starting Wednesday until early May. The city also reports that a temporary roadway is in place, urging drivers to use caution while detours are active. Meanwhile, nearby 24 3/4 Road is set to reopen on April 1.
For capacity improvements along D 1/2 Road, that stretch will be closed between 29 Road and 30 Road. Access from San Juan to D 1/2 will also be closed; residents are advised to use an alternate route via southbound 29½ Road to D Road. This section remains open only for local traffic.
Pedestrian access is affected by sidewalk closures along the north side of Patterson Road between 28¼ and 28¾ Roads near Matchett Park. Pedestrian detours are established for the remainder of this project, with further details available online.
Two Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) projects will also cause disruptions: On I-70B Phase Seven Construction, Fifth Street will have just one lane open between South Avenue and Colorado Avenue throughout the week; Ute Avenue closures continue as well as single-lane or shoulder closures on Ute & Pitkin Avenues between Third and Sixth Streets; Fourth Street will be reduced to a single lane between Colorado Avenue and Pitkin Avenue. Despite these changes, all business and residential access points remain open during construction periods.
The CDOT CO-340 Resurfacing Project brings single right-lane closures eastbound on its bridge segment with work hours set from Monday through Friday between seven in the morning until seven at night.
Residents can expect ongoing updates as these infrastructure projects progress.
