Milling and Paving Operations on Pace Street Scheduled for Nov. 16 -19

A street with trees and grass on each side of the road. To the left is a fence with houses behind and the right side of the road shows a field behind a chain link fence.

The City of Longmont will be milling and paving Pace Street between Mountain View Avenue and 17th Avenue from Monday, Nov. 16, through Thursday, Nov. 19, as part of the Pace Street Improvements project. Drivers should expect traffic shifts, temporary access restrictions and delays throughout the week.
Crews will begin work in the northbound lanes of Pace Street. Two-way traffic will be shifted to the southbound side of the road. Once work on the northbound lanes is complete, crews will switch to the southbound lanes and shift traffic to the newly paved northbound side. The middle section will be paved last with traffic moving on either side of paving operations.

Both the Mountain View Avenue and 17th Avenue intersections will remain open to through traffic throughout construction. However, side streets and driveways along this section of Pace Street will experience temporary closures of approximately two to three hours while crews pave across entrances.

 

Access impacts include:

  • Fox Creek Village/King Soopers: At least one driveway entrance from Pace Street will remain open throughout paving operations. Access from 17th Avenue will also remain open.
  • Fox Creek Marketplace/VASA Fitness: The Pace Street entrance will be closed for approximately two to three hours while crews pave in front of the driveway. Drivers should use the entrance from 17th Avenue during the temporary closure.
  • Red Oak Drive: The east and west entrances to Red Oak Drive from Pace Street will be temporarily closed at different times as paving progresses. Each closure is expected to last approximately two to three hours. Residents west of Pace Street can access their neighborhood from 17th Avenue. Residents east of Pace Street will use 17th Avenue or Mountain View Avenue.
  • Skyline High School Athletic Field: The parking lot entrance from Pace Street will be temporarily closed during paving. Crews expect to reopen the west side of Red Oak Drive before closing the athletic field entrance. Visitors can park along Red Oak Drive during the closure.
  • Pedestrian Access: Pedestrians should cross Pace Street only at the signalized intersections at Mountain View Avenue or 17th Avenue. The pedestrian-activated flashing crossing lights at Red Oak Drive will be turned off until paving is complete.

 

All work is weather-dependent and schedules may change.

 

The paving work is part of the City’s Pace Street Improvements Project, which includes roadway, bicycle, pedestrian and drainage improvements between 9th and 17th avenues.
