A Colorado Department of Transportation resurfacing project on Colorado Highway 46 is relevant to Jefferson County businesses because the work reaches the Jefferson County line at Golden Gate Canyon State Park and is expected to bring lane closures, short traffic holds and temporary access disruptions for nearby properties and visitors through late October. For businesses tied to tourism, outdoor recreation, deliveries or customer travel in the western part of the county, the project could affect how smoothly people and goods move through the area.
Why this is relevant to businesses in Jefferson County:
- The project directly involves the Jefferson County line and a route used by park visitors, residents and service providers, making it locally relevant.
- CDOT said motorists should expect daytime single-lane closures, traffic holds of up to 10 minutes and some temporary access disruptions to driveways, business entrances and side streets during the early weeks of work.
- The work is scheduled to continue for about eight weeks, with completion anticipated by Oct. 31, so the effects may overlap with fall travel and visitor activity.
