CR 80C Re-Graveling Project

SCOPE OF WORK

Project limits are from the top of Calloway Hill west ~ 4 miles to just west of the Livermore Fire Protection District Station.  The goal of the project is to re-establish proper roadside drainage, establish a 28’ wide roadway platform and surface the road with 6” of aggregate base course.  This segment of road gets slick and soft during moisture events and has steadily worsened over the years.

PROJECT STATUS

Work began December 1, 2021 and is scheduled to be complete in the fall of 2022.  Construction will be suspended during the summer of 2022 so crews can complete other scheduled work

Big Elk Meadows Road (CR 47) to be Reconstructed

Project No. 9332

(CR 47 Permanent Roadway Flood Repairs)

SCOPE OF WORK

The remaining work consists of rebuilding and paving 2 miles of CR 47 including three crossings of the West Fork of the Little Thompson River in lieu of damages caused during September 2013 flooding.  The goal is to re-pave these damaged portions of roadway, asphalt patch and overlay the remaining paved sections within the two miles of flood damage, construct the road back to the pre-flood elevation, and make the creek crossings more resilient during future high flow events while passing a 25-year storm event.  An asphalt patching and overlay project will also be completed using Larimer County funds for the remainder of the paved portion of CR 47 to the Johnny Park Fork.

Reconstruction/realignment work on County Road 47 from Highway 36 south approximately 900' occurred in 2015.  This portion was managed through a contract with the Federal Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFL). Traffic was diverted over the new bridge during the summer of 2015.  Larimer County contracted the paving of the first 900’ and guardrail placement at the new bridge.  This work is complete.

PROJECT STATUS

Larimer County has finalized and submitted environmental evaluations to the appropriate state and federal agencies in 2021.  The environmental reviews and approval processes are complete.

The project was advertised for bids on July 15^th, 2021. The construction contract has been awarded to Dietzler Construction.  Construction on the three stream crossings has begun with traffic being diverted through a one-lane temporary traffic signalized operation.Paving will occur in mid-2022.

Project Budget: Larimer County is seeking federal (FEMA – 75%) and state (-DHSEM and a HUD Community Block Grant – each 12.5%) reimbursement for the proposed repairs. The construction cost estimate is $6,800,000.
