N. 63rd Street: Niwot Road to Nelson
Road Widening and Reconstruction
Boulder County is in the process of reconstructing North 63rd
Street from Niwot Road to Nelson Road and from Monarch Road, south for
1/3 of a mile. The completed project will provide a continuous
road access with paved shoulders from the State Highway 119 (Diagonal
Highway) to Nelson Road.
The multi-year project was begun in 2007 and is scheduled to
continue into mid-2009. The bridge over Lefthand Creek will be
reconstructed as a separate project sometime before 2012.
Overall the project
includes four phases. Phase 1 through Phase 3 have
been completed, resulting in the widening
of side slopes and shoulders, and completed reconstruction of
approximately 3.5 miles of roadway with the addition of 4-foot
shoulders from Niwot Road to Nelson Road. Approximately 1700 L.F.
of N. 63rd Street south of Monarch Road was also widened and overlayed
as a part of this project.
Phase 4 will
be the replacement of the N. 63rd
Street Bridge over Lefthand Creek. The bridge is currently in
design as a separate project. Bridge construction is awaiti8ng
federal funding and is scheduled for completion in the Winter of
2011/2012.
The road reconstruction project is being funded by the
Boulder County Transportation Sales Tax, passed by the Boulder County
voters in November 2001 and the sales tax extension passed by voters in
November 2007.
