Paving on Colorado Ave. - June 3-13 Jaime Ray Mon, 06/02/2025 - 09:27

Paving operations on Colorado Ave. will take place from June 3 to June 13. Expect delays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. as paving crews work between Folsom St. and 28th St. Through traffic and driveway access will be maintained as much as possible. There may be a 10-15 minute window as equipment passes driveways when traffic may be held briefly. Some delays are possible through the week of June 9 depending on the weather.

On June 3, milling operations will mill the outside lanes of eastbound Colorado Ave. starting at Folsom in the morning and they will turn around at 28th St. and mill the outside westbound lanes in the afternoon. This will leave the inside and center lanes open to traffic. Then on June 4, the same thing will occur for the inside and center lanes, leaving the outside lanes open to traffic. Paving operations will work in the same fashion, which are planned to start June 5 or 6 depending on milling progress.

Upcoming Roadway and Sidewalk Closure on 18th Street between Broadway and Euclid – June 2 to August 1, 2025 Nancy Portner Wed, 05/21/2025 - 13:17

During a campus waterline replacement project, 18th Street between Broadway and Euclid will undergo phased closures for new waterline installation and roadway restoration.

Proposed construction schedule (subject to change based on field conditions):

From June 2 to July 11 the southbound lane from Lot 204 to Broadway will be closed (one northbound lane will remain open to allow access into Lot 204 and the Wardenburg lot).

From July 11 to July 25 there will be phased closures of 18th Street to allow access to lots 204, 310 and 325. Various traffic patterns will be utilized; vehicles and pedestrians should follow posted signage in and around the construction zone.

Sidewalks in the area will also be closed during construction. Impacted buildings include Music, Wardenburg, CASE, and parking lots 204 and 310. Please refer to posted signage and reroute maps for CU Buff Bus summer service.

Buff Bus reroute during this project:

From July 26 to August 1, there will be a complete closure of 18th Street from Broadway to Euclid. There will be no access to lot 204 during this phase. People needing vehicle access to Wardenburg during this time, including lots 310 and 324, will need to access Wardenburg Drive via Colorado Ave (lot 360 entrance) to Libby Drive to Baker Drive to Wardenburg Drive.

Construction has started the Diagonal Highway (CO 119) between Longmont and Boulder Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 09/25/2024 - 11:01

Construction of the Colorado Highway 119 Safety, Mobility and Bikeway Improvements Project has started and will be ongoing through 2027. Once complete, the corridor will have improved bike and bus facilities, and safer and more efficient intersections for all users. In the short term, The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) , the Regional Transportation District (RTD) and Boulder County will be working together to mitigate traffic congestion, delays and crashes and expand transportation options throughout this project. Your usual travel route may be impacted by construction, traffic delays and increased congestion throughout the project.

Immediate impacts:

Niwot Park-n-ride lot will close temporarily, but bus stops will remain active.
Bus stops at north and southbound CO 119 and bus stops at CO 52 (near IBM) will close beginning Sept. 29.
Additionally, there will be lane closures at various times near the following intersections: Jay Road, CO 52, 71st Street, Niwot Road, Oxford Road, 83rd Street, and Airport and Connector roads

Tips and Tricks for reducing the impact on your commute

Know before you go: Gather information about weather forecasts and anticipated travel impacts and current road conditions prior to hitting the road.

Learn about road conditions and travel information: COtrip.org
Sign up for project or travel alerts: bit.ly/COnewsalerts
See scheduled construction lane closures: bit.ly/laneclosures

Consider other routes: Download the COtrip Planner app, or use other travel apps like Transit, Google Maps or WAZE to plan your route.

Share a ride, start a vanpool or take a bus: It may not be as convenient as driving, but will help reduce the burden.

CU Boulder's vanpool program is just $50/month, and free for Frontline Service Employees. Find out more on our CU Boulder vanpool webpage
Explore carpool and public vanpool options at My Way to Go.

Shift your commute times (if possible): Explore the CU Boulder Work From Home toolkit to see if there are ways you can work an alternate schedule or remotely, and what resources are available.

Full project details, contacts and more can be found on the CDOT project website.

New Bus and Right Turn Lanes on Colorado Avenue

New Bus and Right Turn Lanes on Colorado Avenue Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 08/28/2024 - 14:29

The city of Boulder has implemented changes to the lanes on Colorado Avenue that may affect your daily commute. These improvements are part of a broader effort to create a safer and more efficient transportation system for our entire community, and they are expected to strengthen the connection between Main Campus and East Campus.

What’s happening?

In June, the city converted the outside vehicle lanes on Colorado Avenue to bus and right-turn lanes between Folsom Street and 30th Street. This change, which includes the use of signage and red street markings to designate the bus lanes, aligns with the recommendations of the 2019 30th Street and Colorado Avenue Corridors Study.

How will this affect you?

For bus riders: If you ride the bus, these changes are designed to shorten your travel times by reducing delays due to traffic congestion. This improvement benefits nearly 12,000 daily bus riders who use Buff Bus service along the Colorado Avenue corridor.
For drivers:Please use the inside lanes for through traffic on Colorado Avenue, as the outside lanes are now designated for buses only. Right turns at side streets and driveways are still permitted from the bus lanes.
During events:Please follow instructions provided by those directing traffic at large events on campus, including concerts, football games and conferences.

Future plans and ongoing efforts

CU Boulder remains committed to collaborating on further improvements in the future, including potential changes between 30th Street and Discovery Drive. The city’s 30th Street Multimodal Improvements Project, expected to be completed in early 2025, will enhance the area between Colorado Avenue and Arapahoe Avenue with protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks and new landscaping. In summer 2025, Boulder’s Pavement Management Program will repave Colorado Avenue between Folsom Street and 30th Street.

Campus construction on Regent Drive near the Coors Events Center may cause delays to Buff Buses and other traffic from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regent Drive will be reduced to one lane during these hours, and flaggers will be directing traffic. Please plan accordingly, as you may need to leave early to arrive on time.
