Residents and commuters in Loveland, brace yourselves for a bit of a slowdown if your travels take you across the West Loveland Avenue Bridge this week. Jurgensen Construction will be giving the bridge a facelift with some milling and paving work scheduled for Wednesday, July 30, and Thursday, July 31. The work is expected to kick off bright and early at around 7:00 AM, wrapping up before the morning rush hour ends at 10:30 AM, according to the City of Loveland's official website.
For those counting on a smooth ride, it might be time to consider an alternate route or allow for some extra travel time. Traffic will still be a thing, it won’t be completely shut down during construction, but let’s just say you should expect the opposite of a breeze through. Delays are on the menu, according to the city’s advisory. For the detail-hungry, the full notice of the construction can be found on the city of Loveland's official website, straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
While the construction crew does its thing, local authorities are likely to set up detours and signs to help guide traffic and keep things moving as smoothly as possible under the circumstances. It's the usual dance we do—you know, road work and the resulting ballet of brake lights and steering wheel grips. And yeah, it's mid-week, but think of it this way, it's a short-term pain for that long-term gain of smoother, pothole-free commutes.
