Boulder County Temporary Paving Projects coming up Temporary asphalt paving and safety measures installation to begin on Fourmile Canyon Drive Aug. 4 Expect travel delays during work hours; Work in James and Lefthand canyons to start soon Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County will begin laying asphalt on Monday, Aug. 4 on portions of Fourmile Canyon Drive between Boulder Canyon Drive and Salina Junction that washed away during the 2013 Flood. Work in Fourmile Canyon will take place from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is expected to be complete by the end of August, weather permitting. Travel delays of up to 15-minutes can be expected during working hours and traffic control personnel will be used in sections to direct traffic through work zones. The damaged areas of canyon roads are receiving temporary asphalt patches at this time in order to ensure that the roads remain safe and passable for all users through next fall, winter and spring run-off while permanent roadway design plans are completed. Because permanent reconstruction is not expected to start until the spring of 2015, the asphalt patching will be easier, and less costly to maintain throughout the winter and will improve safety by reducing the number of potholes, ruts and potential for washboarding. The paving project will also include shoulder stabilization work in order to strengthen the roadway in areas where the creek could erode the stream bank and cause structural problems for the road. Temporary asphalt patching in Lefthand and James canyons is tentatively scheduled to begin in August. Contractors have been selected and project schedules are being finalized. The exact start date and other project specifics will be posted on BoCoConeZones as soon as they are determined. Work in those canyons will also take place from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work in Lefthand and James canyons is expected to end in mid- to late-October. While Boulder County Transportation strives to complete all projects on-time, work is weather dependent and there may be delays due to rain or other unfavorable working conditions.
