Ninth Avenue from Airport Road to Hover Street is scheduled to receive multimodal transportation and pavement management improvements in 2020. These improvements are described in greater detail below.

At the open house, a brief presentation will be given at 5:15 p.m., and staff will be available afterwards to answer questions.

Planned Improvements:

• Bike Improvements – 9^th Avenue will receive on-street bike lanes from Airport Road to Hover Street. To accomplish this, minor roadway widening is necessary between Iron Court and Wade Road. Additionally, modifications to existing right-turn lanes are needed to accommodate the bike lanes.
• Asphalt and Concrete Repairs – The aging asphalt and concrete pavement infrastructure will be repaired with this project using varying types of pavement rehabilitation and maintenance activities. A significant portion of 9^th Avenue is in poor condition and will require a major reconstruction repair effort.

Refer to the map below for more information on planned improvements. Further details about asphalt and concrete rehabilitation can also be found at LongmontColorado.gov/pmp.

Schedule and Impacts:

Construction is expected to begin summer of 2020. Two weeks prior to the start of work, roadside message boards will be placed on 9^th Avenue to provide notice. The anticipated project duration is four to five weeks; however, there may be periods of inactivity between construction phases resulting in a slightly longer project duration.

Due to the narrow pavement width of 9^th Avenue, the reconstruction effort will require closures to 9^th Avenue for up to three weeks. Local traffic access will be maintained at all times. Construction will be phased to limit vehicle impacts as much as practical, but significant disruptions in normal traffic operations should be expected and alternate routes may be necessary.
