The City of Grand Junction announced on April 17 several road closures and travel restrictions scheduled for the week of April 20, 2026. The projects include both city-led improvements and state transportation work that will affect drivers and pedestrians in multiple areas.
These changes are expected to impact daily commutes and local business access, making it important for residents to plan alternate routes or allow extra travel time.
Among the city projects, Four Canyons Parkway work will close 25 Road from Blichmann to Waite Avenue until early May. A temporary roadway is in place with detours posted, while nearby, 24 ¾ Road is closed from Apex Avenue northbound. For D 1/2 Road capacity improvements, the road will be closed between 29 and 30 Roads with San Juan access also blocked; only local traffic will be permitted in this area. On Patterson Road at Matchett Park, the sidewalk along the north side between 28¼ and 28¾ Roads is closed with pedestrian detours set up for the remainder of construction. Lane shifts are expected starting Monday.
In addition, a roundabout project at South Broadway and 23 Road has led to a closure on 23 Road between Broadway and South Broadway with detours available.
State-managed projects by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) include I-70B Phase 7 construction that reduces Fifth Street to one lane between South Avenue and Colorado Avenue throughout the week. There are also single lane closures on Ute Avenue and Pitkin Avenue between Third Street and Sixth Street as well as ongoing Ute Avenue closures. Fourth Street is reduced to one lane from Colorado to Pitkin Avenues but all business and residential access remains open during this period. Project details can be found on CDOT’s project site.
Additionally, resurfacing work on CO Highway 340 brings single right lane closures eastbound across the bridge during working hours from Monday through Friday (7 a.m.–7 p.m.), according to information provided online by CDOT.
Residents are encouraged to use caution around these construction zones as crews continue infrastructure improvements.
