Valmont Shoulders & Roadway Reconstruction – 75th
Street to 95th Street
The Valmont Shoulders project is
planned to reconstruct Valmont
Road
between 75th Street and 95th Street. The need for
the project is due to the lack of shoulders on the roadway,
long-standing roadway safety issues, and a severely deteriorating
pavement condition.
The current plan is to maintain the roads current alignment and two-lane
configuration. Some minor re-alignment may occur to accommodate the
shoulder width, reduce impacts to agricultural properties, and to
minimize the need for tree removal. Currently, the plan for this
corridor includes:
-
The
addition of paved road shoulders to improve vehicle safety and
provide space for bicycles.
-
Replace
and upgrade ditch crossings and drainage culverts.
-
New
pavement surface.
-
A new
trail approach and trail crossing of the East Boulder Trail at Dry
Creek.
Boulder County is currently moving forward with an initial design to be
presented at a public meeting sometime in late October. Culvert
replacement work is anticipated to begin late in 2009 with full
construction to begin in 2010 and last up to one year.
