Road contruction projects to delay traffic this week
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — The City of Grand Junction has been working on different road projects that will cause travel restrictions for residents.
The projects that will affect traffic this week include:
Crosby Avenue will be closed to through traffic from Main Street to West Gunnison to relocate utilities. This construction is scheduled to take place throughout June.
Horizon Drive and G Road Roundabout construction will be ongoing through October. Individuals are advised to follow directions from traffic control and temporary detour signs.
29 Road will have lane shifts between North Avenue and Patterson Road all week for road paving.
4th Street between Grand Avenue and North Avenue will have rolling closures to through traffic with detours for restriping. There will still be access to local residences and businesses, but individuals will not be able to park on the west side of the street.
The 2025 Chipseal Program, which will add a protective wearing surface to increase road service life, will take place on North Avenue to Grand Avenue and 1st Street to I-70 B from June 9 to July 18. There will be no designated parking on the sides of the street.
Unaweep Avenue will have lane shifts between Kathy Lynn and 27 3/8 Road all week due to paving.
In addition to the city's road construction projects, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will be working on the I-70 Business Loop. For the project, 1st Street, Ute Avenue and Pitkin Avenue will all be one lane.

Downtown signs warn of I-25 resurfacing: Here's the next round of traffic impacts
DENVER (KDVR) — If you've driven near or on Interstate 25 in downtown Denver over the past month, you probably saw the LED signs warning of impending milling and paving operations. The project was announced by the Colorado Department of Transportation in April, but impacts will last through January. Once completed, I-25 will have new pavement, repaired expansion joints, new signs and striping and 2,700 feet of replaced concrete barrier segments. Speed cameras in Fort Collins will begin issuing citations soon A CDOT spokesperson told FOX31 on Tuesday that preparation work has been going on, but the actual resurfacing work will begin next week. 'This involves milling down the old pavement and replacing it with new pavement,' a CDOT spokesperson explained. 'The work involves overnight lane closures Sunday-Thursday through the fall.' Next week, from Sunday through Thursday, resurfacing project impacts will be seen in the southbound lanes of I-25 from 44th to Alameda Avenue. The map below shows the stretch of I-25 that will be impacted. One lane will be closed beginning at 9 p.m., followed by a second lane closure at 10 p.m. Both lanes will reopen by 6 a.m. the following day. Similar lane closure schedules are planned for future weeks, on either the north or southbound sides of the interstate. Details of the project can be found on the project webpage here.

Colorado drivers can expect delays on I-70 in mountains because of rock blasting 2 to 3 times a week
Find out how to avoid the closures east of Idaho Springs on I-70 this summer Find out how to avoid the closures east of Idaho Springs on I-70 this summer Find out how to avoid the closures east of Idaho Springs on I-70 this summer Drivers on Interstate 70 can expect 20 minute delays because of rock blasting this summer. I-70 on Floyd Hill is undergoing a major overhaul, and exploding part of a mountain is the only way to get it done. "We're about 80 blasts into the project, and we're going to continue blasting two to three times a week, over the next year and a half," said Kurt Kionka, Colorado Department of Transportation's Floyd Hill Project Director. Rock blasting construction area CBS "Rock is hard to excavate," Kionka said. Crews are still working to carve out parts of an area east of the Veterans Memorial Tunnels as part of the Floyd Hill project. "Our blasts are typically between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and then 9 a.m. and noon on Friday. And we do not touch the weekends," Kionka said. Rock falls down a cliffside as part of blasting off I-70 in the Floyd Hill area. CBS The blasts will help make wider turns, less steep grades and fewer bottlenecks for drivers. The Floyd Hill reconstruction project is expected to be completed around 2028.
