Hello –

Paving will start at 8 a.m. in Gold Run on Monday. It should take two days to complete, but we have reserved Wednesday as a contingency. Expect between 40 and 50 trucks of asphalt to be delivered each day, so there will be a lot of extra truck traffic throughout the canyon, which means travel up and down may be a bit slower than usual. Paving will start just up from the junction where the current pavement ends and will proceed to Ingram Gulch, which is just above the Salina Fire Station.

Work at Logan Mill continues to progress well, and the contractor is hopeful they will be able to reopen both lanes of Fourmile Canyon Drive by the end of July/early August.

Work in the upper portions of Fourmile Canyon Drive continues to move forward. The daily two-hour closures will continue for the foreseeable future. The first closure starts at 8:30 a.m., then there is a 30-minute opening before the next two-hour closure. The road reopens at 3:30 p.m. each day. The only exception is at the wall site near Sunset where the four-hour closures, which start at 9 a.m., will remain in effect until late next week. 

A contractor has been selected to complete the lower Fourmile flood recovery project, but we’re still finalizing the contract so work is not likely to start until September. A community meeting will be held prior to the start in order to give everyone who’s interested a chance to learn more and ask questions. 

Thank you for your time and patience.

Have a good weekend.

Andrew
