Road Improvements along Broadway

Work continues through November

Road improvements continue along US-36 Eastbound/Broadway through Lyons. The contractor has installed the sidewalk on the south side of the 300 block and is currently working on the ADA ramps at 3rd Ave and 4th Ave.   Work continues on the boulder retaining wall on the South side of Broadway between 4th and 5th Avenue  

Major project elements include:

1. Narrower travel lanes to enhance safety for all modes of travel
2. Curb extensions to shorten crossing distances at intersections
3. New sidewalks along the north side of the roadway
4. Addition of public parking spaces along both the northern and southern edges
5. Delivery and service access to businesses along the north side of Broadway
6. Improved bicycle and pedestrian access to downtown, the Library, Sandstone Park, and Black Bear Hole
7. Multimodal pathway along the south side of Broadway

In 2021, this project secured additional funding through the Colorado Department of Transportation ‘s Revitalizing Main Street program. The bulk of the financing is from Transportation Improvement Projects Funding from DRCOG. The Town match is currently estimated to be approximately $61K.
