A Colorado Department of Transportation travel advisory warns that about 4,000 bicyclists will travel from Evergreen to Avon during the Triple Bypass ride on Saturday, creating road closures and delays that matter to Jefferson County businesses, commuters and visitors. Because the route begins in Evergreen and affects Highway 103 and nearby I-70 travel patterns, the notice is especially relevant for employers, retailers, tourism operators and service businesses that depend on weekend access between the Denver metro area and the mountains.
Why this is relevant to businesses in Jefferson County:
- Evergreen, which is in Jefferson County, is part of the ride corridor, so local businesses may see changes in customer traffic, delivery timing and employee commutes.
- CDOT says drivers should expect delays and notes road closures on Highway 103 from Bergen Park to Idaho Springs, which can affect weekend travel tied to dining, recreation and tourism.
- The event brings thousands of cyclists through the region, creating both disruption and potential customer activity for hospitality and service businesses along the route.
