• Longs Peak Avenue: The road will be temporarily widened between Sunset Street and the Sunset Pool parking lot, and the two lanes of traffic will be shifted to the south so construction equipment can be parked on the north side of Longs Peak Avenue. There will also be initial work on the waterline that runs underneath Sunset Circle. Residents and commuters should plan for construction activities from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays.

Boulder County

• Sugarloaf Road: Due to an unsafe and confined work zone, Sugarloaf Road will need to be closed between Colo. 119 and Betasso Road during the following times for the next four weeks: 9:30 a.m.-noon and 1-3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Sugarloaf will remain open in a single-lane configuration through the work zone during all other hours. Boulder County is working on the last 2013 flood recovery-related project on Sugarloaf Road. The project involves the construction of five retaining walls, drainage improvements and reconstruction of approximately 2,000 feet of roadway just up from Colo. 119 and will include a 4-foot shoulder in the uphill lane. In addition, Colo. 119/Boulder Canyon Drive will be reduced to one lane from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The project is anticipated to last into October, weather permitting.

• Olde Stage Road Project: Milling the old surface is planned to start Monday. Work will start from the southern end at Lee Hill Drive and proceed north, then crews will flip around at Left Hand Canyon Drive and work on milling the southbound lane. This work is expected to take all week. Expect long work zones, which means delays could range up to 15 minutes. Alternate routes are advised. Cyclists may want to avoid Olde Stage for the next four to six weeks as the roadway will be in a rough, milled condition until paving is completed. After milling, crews will start repairing the subsurface in order to make the new roadway stronger. Crews also will be working on widening the southern portion of the road (Lee Hill to the top of the first hill) to create a 4-foot shoulder in the northbound climbing lane. Once this work is done, paving will begin. Paving is expected to take two to three weeks to complete. Crews are expecting to have the roadway completely repaved by early October, weather permitting. Additional shouldering, striping and final cleanup work is expected to last until the end of October.

• Apple Valley Road. The bridge over the North St. Vrain Creek at the north entrance to Apple Valley Road will be painted for approximately two weeks starting Sept. 12. In order to accommodate painting, the bridge must be closed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Access to Apple Valley Road will be maintained at all times from the southern end of Apple Valley Road just outside Lyons.

• Erie Parkway: Through Sept. 30, a contractor will begin a mill and overlay project of westbound and eastbound Erie Parkway between County Line Road and Briggs Street.
