Spring and Summer Construction

Construction in Steamboat is in full swing this spring. Along with the positives of development and redevelopment come the temporary headaches and inconveniences we can all identify with. In an effort to minimize problems, it is our goal to keep the community informed of upcoming work. The following projects involve infrastructure upgrades and street improvements. Please note the project locations and plan accordingly. Well marked detours will be in place to safely guide you around the work. Please read on for the projects.

The City wishes to notify you of the closure of Whistler Road from Walton Creek Road to Stone Lane between the dates of April 28-July 18. The purpose of the closure is to replace the existing water and sewer mains which are located within Whistler Road. Additionally, delays may be experienced along Walton Creek Road as improvements are being made. Traffic will be required to follow the project detour to access Whistler Road.

The second year of the Steamboat Springs Redevelopment Authority’s construction of improvements in the Base Area includes the reconstruction of the Après Ski Way—Mt. Werner Circle intersection. The intersection will be transformed into a roundabout to provide improved traffic flow. Construction is planned from April 21 to September 15, 2008.

While all of this construction is happening, dedicated efforts are being made by the project team to ensure continuous and safe access, for both vehicles and pedestrians, within the project area . During April and May, traffic will be flagged through the construction zone with only minimal delays.

For the latest details on the construction, join us each Friday morning at 8:30 at the Snow Flower. Our construction team will be available to discuss the details of the construction, vehicle and pedestrian routes, and our weekly schedule.
