Highlights

County Road 70 (Owl Canyon Road) & County Road 9 Roadway Improvements

Project No. 339

(CR 70 (Owl Canyon Road) between CR 9 and CR 5 & CR 9 from CR 70 to the new Larimer County North Landfill

 

Last Updated: November, 2023

 

SCOPE OF WORK

The project includes 1.5 miles of roadway widening and reconstruction of CR 70 from the CR 9 intersection to just west of I-25. The project also includes 4 miles of roadway widening of CR 9 from the CR 70 intersection to the new Larimer County North Landfill entrance. Both roadway widening projects will accommodate two lanes of roadway and 6- to 8-foot-wide paved shoulders. Bridges will be replaced at several irrigation canal crossings and major/minor drainage ways. Intersection improvements are planned for both the C9 and CR 7-5J intersections. Along with the roadway widening on CR 9, conduits for the County’s Broadband infrastructure extensions are being installed.  In addition to the above improvements CR 70 will also be repaved on the I-25 overpass and the gravel road section from I-25 to CR 5 will be paved to accommodate a 26’ paved roadway.

PROJECT STATUS

The project was advertised for construction bids and awarded to Connell Resources in late May for amount of $20,994,658. Connell initially focused most of its attention to the CR 9 and E CR 70 improvements throughout the summer and early fall. They have constructed temporary detour roads on CR 70 and CR 9 and will begin bridge reconstruction efforts throughout the late fall and early winter of 2024. The broadband conduit install began on CR 9 in early October and is expected to continue through the middle part of November. Utility relocation efforts have been ongoing and will continue within the project limits through the end of the year and into 2024.

The project is funded through a combination of Larimer County Road and Bridge, Larimer County Solid Waste, Larimer County IT, and CDOT funds.
