County Road 70 (Owl Canyon Road) & County Road 9 Roadway Improvements

Project No. 339

(CR 70 (Owl Canyon Road) between CR 9 and CR 5 & CR 9 from CR 70 to the new Larimer County North Landfill

Last Updated: March, 2024

SCOPE OF WORK

The project includes 1.5 miles of roadway widening and reconstruction of CR 70 from the CR 9 intersection to just west of I-25. The project also includes 4 miles of roadway widening of CR 9 from the CR 70 intersection to the new Larimer County North Landfill entrance. Both roadway widening projects will accommodate two lanes of roadway and 6- to 8-foot-wide paved shoulders. Bridges will be replaced at several irrigation canal crossings and major/minor drainage ways. Intersection improvements are planned for both the C9 and CR 7-5J intersections. Along with the roadway widening on CR 9, conduits for the County’s Broadband infrastructure extensions are being installed.  In addition to the above improvements CR 70 will also be repaved on the I-25 overpass and the gravel road section from I-25 to CR 5 will be paved to accommodate a 26’ paved roadway.

PROJECT STATUS

The project was advertised for construction bids and awarded to Connell Resources in late May of 2023 for the amount of $20,994,658. Connell initially focused most of its attention to the CR 9 and E CR 70 improvements throughout the summer and early fall. In the meantime, they constructed temporary roadways to convey traffic around the proposed bridge replacements and began work on those bridges in the late Fall of 2023. Work on the structure replacement efforts on the North Poudre Irrigation Ditch crossings is set to be completed by April 1 and roadway improvement work is starting along the main line of CR 70 and expected to continue through the spring. Work will be ongoing at the CR 70/9 intersection and the bridge replacement on Boxelder Creek (north of CR 70/9) will continue through the summer/early fall. The project is expected to be substantially complete by the the end early October of 2024.

The project is funded through a combination of Larimer County Road and Bridge, Larimer County Solid Waste, Larimer County IT, and CDOT funds.
