Street Maintenance/Road Closures

Street maintenance is weather-sensitive; the schedule may vary. Please check back for regular updates.

WCR 7 (Third Street)

April 17, 2024--Starting April 19 and continuing until May 1, road crews will fill potholes on County Road 7, south of Welker Ave, and continue towards Hwy 66. Link to Traffic Control Plans.

April 17, 2024--On April 24, United Power will be conducting work on County Road 7, just south of Welker Ave. A single-lane closure will be in effect from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and flaggers will direct traffic. Link to Traffic Control Plans.

WCR 5 & HWY 66-SHOULDER WORK

March 13, 2024--On Friday, March 15, 2024, road work will resume on the new acceleration/deceleration lane at the intersection of CR 5 and Hwy 66. The new lane is located just off Hwy 66 on CR 5 and is part of the Gopher Gulch project. Traffic control will be in place, with alternating shoulder and lane closures. Motorists should avoid the area if possible. All road work is weather-dependent and should be completed by the end of March. Link to Traffic Control Plans.

CDOT: HWY 66 INTERSECTION PROJECT

UPDATE: February 27, 2024--On March 4 - 7, CDOT will begin replacing the mast arms on the new signal poles at Hwy 66 & CR 7. To accomplish this, flaggers will hold traffic in all directions while each mast arm is placed. Traffic will be held in five-minute intervals for the placement of each arm. Motorists should plan for delays.

The Colorado Department of Transportation will begin an intersection improvement project on Hwy 66 in Mead. The work will take place at two different intersections. The first intersection is Hwy 66 and WCR 7, and the second is Hwy 66 and WCR 13 (Colorado Blvd). The traffic signal systems will be replaced at both intersections. Work will also consist of only an asphalt overlay at the WCR 7 intersection. Motorists should plan for potential delays due to shoulder and turn lane closures. For project updates and more information, visit CDOT.

3rd & Welker Intersection Project

The 3rd Street and Welker Avenue intersection project is progressing through property acquisition. Intersection improvements include left and right turn lanes on all legs, medians, sidewalk connections on all legs, drainage upgrades, two railroad crossings, and a traffic signal. Reconstruction of the intersection will begin in 2024, and significant traffic impacts are expected during the construction period. The intersection contains two primary arterial roads in the heart of downtown and is a crucial component of safe routes to school.
