Are you curious about what goes on behind the scenes at Larimer County? Maybe you're mystified by what a county does at all! You're not alone - counties are often considered the "forgotten" level of government, but we're working hard for our community members every day. 

From community justice to restaurant inspections to county roads, Larimer County provides essential services that you may rely on without even knowing it! "Unlock" the secrets of county government with our informative, experiential learning series, Larimer: Unlocked! 

Each session investigates a different aspect of county government and offers firsthand opportunities to see what Larimer County is doing for you!

Road & Bridge/ Engineering

Time: 5:30pm
Date: Thursday, May 21
Location:  6994 Rickenbacker Rd., Loveland, CO 80538

From the roads you drive to the bridges you cross, there’s a whole behind-the-scenes operation making it all work (and yes… it involves some seriously cool, giant machinery, which is kind of like magic)

Join us for a fun, behind-the-scenes experience where you’ll get the inside scoop on how county roads and bridges are designed, funded, and maintained. You’ll hear from the folks who make it happen and get an up-close look at the big equipment that keeps everything moving.

Registration Closed!
