| The Clifton 1st & Grand Road project continues on schedule. Existing utilities and other obstructions are being relocated without disrupting service to residents to make way for the new road. |
The project is designed to improve road safety, realign 1st Street, connect Grand Avenue from 1st Street to 2nd Street, and provide sidewalks. It's being executed in close coordination with CDOT's overlapping roundabout project on U.S. Highway 6 & 1st Street.
Construction crews have already provided local residents with a temporary gravel access road and started work along 1st Street from Orson Avenue to Front Street. Existing utilities and other obstructions are being relocated without disrupting service to residents to make way for the new road. Currently, the project focuses on relocating irrigation services and adding stormwater infrastructure, sometimes reaching 14 feet underground!
The project is expected to be completed by spring 2023 and will be in operation Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The contractor chosen for this project is Sorter Construction, Inc., and construction will also depend on the weather. Any winter shutdowns will be determined by weather throughout the project.
Drivers can rest assured that impacts on the traveling public will only be limited to local traffic/residents. Access to homes and businesses within the construction boundary will be maintained at all times, with little to no delays. However, please remember that traffic detours, closings, and openings may change as the project progresses.
