Paving on Colorado Ave. - June 3-13 Jaime Ray Mon, 06/02/2025 - 09:27

Paving operations on Colorado Ave. will take place from June 3 to June 13. Expect delays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. as paving crews work between Folsom St. and 28th St. Through traffic and driveway access will be maintained as much as possible. There may be a 10-15 minute window as equipment passes driveways when traffic may be held briefly. Some delays are possible through the week of June 9 depending on the weather.

On June 3, milling operations will mill the outside lanes of eastbound Colorado Ave. starting at Folsom in the morning and they will turn around at 28th St. and mill the outside westbound lanes in the afternoon. This will leave the inside and center lanes open to traffic. Then on June 4, the same thing will occur for the inside and center lanes, leaving the outside lanes open to traffic. Paving operations will work in the same fashion, which are planned to start June 5 or 6 depending on milling progress.
