Major roads and trail closures:
Major roads that will be closed include Lemay (lane shifts and directional closures), full closure of Trilby road (at Fossil Creek), partial closure of Trilby (at College), and finally, lane shifts on Harmony.
Lemay will be closed until June 30th, between Horsetooth and Harmony. This is due to a water line replacement, so use either College or Timberline as a detour.
The full closure of Trilby (at Fossil Creek), will be closed until July 31st, at Fossil Creek, between roads Lemay and Timberline. It is closed because of the ‘Trilby Culvert Replacement,’ happening at Fossil Creek, and to detour, use Harmony or Carpenter (State Highway 392).
The parietal closure of Trilby, at College, will happen until the completion of the project, which is ‘College and Trilby Intersection Improvements.’ To detour around this, take Shields or Lemay to Harmony.
The lane shifts on Harmony will happen until the completion of the ‘Construction of the Power Trail Harmony Crossing.’ It is happening on Harmony between McMurry and Timberline, and there is no needed detour.
Minor street closures:
The street which will be closed is Mountain Avenue. It will be closed at Mountain and Jackson, until April 22nd. This is because of ‘Oak Street Stormwater Improvements,’ and use Laporte Avenue as a detour.
