The streets of Fort Collins will witness a series of closures from June 16 through June 27, as the city undertakes asphalt overlay work that will affect both Timberline Road and Laurel Street.
According to the City of Fort Collins, southbound Timberline Road will be off-limits between Vine Drive and Donella Court from June 16 to June 20. This will leave the northbound side as the only accessible route in this segment. Commuters who typically travel south on Timberline are being redirected to Lemay Avenue, or the I-25 Frontage Road via Vine Street, and onwards to Mulberry Street during the impacted period.
The city's Street Maintenance Program continues its work with a shutdown of westbound Laurel Street between Stover and Remington Streets starting June 18 until June 20. Drivers intending to go west will need to take a detour to Myrtle Street for this duration, as the usual passage will be blocked for maintenance. Meanwhile, Peterson and Remington Streets will still be open, allowing the movement of north-south traffic.
Later in the month, from June 23 through June 27, northbound Timberline Road will also see a shutdown, this time between Donella Court and Vine Drive. This closure means that vehicles will have to leverage the southbound lanes, especially when accessing points between these two closures. Detours for northbound vehicles will involve Lemay Avenue or the I-25 Frontage Road accessible via Mulberry, then onto Vine Street. Moreover, eastbound Laurel Street is set for closure from June 25 to June 27 between Remington and Stover Streets, with eastbound motorists being diverted to Myrtle Street.
Both projects stand as part of the broader maintenance efforts aimed at preserving roadway quality and safety. The city reminds drivers to follow the posted detour signs and to stay alert for any changes in traffic patterns. Working hours for the construction teams are typically set for Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but work may extend beyond these times. Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes to avoid getting stuck in construction-related congestion.
