Windsor North Campus Infrastructure Improvements

N. 15^th St. is reopened to all commuter traffic by noon on Friday, June 14. Residents will experience a newly paved roadway that’s been widened and includes bike lanes from the Public Services Campus to the new Windsor Middle School. Moving forward, crews will continue cleaning up the work zone, installing irrigation and landscaping. Residents and commuters are encouraged to continue using caution when traveling through the area. The temporary traffic signal at the intersection of Jacoby Rd. and Colorado Blvd. will also be removed. For traffic alert notifications text Roads to 970-251-7151.

Starting on Monday, May 20, N. 15^th St. will close to through traffic from CR 72 to the Public Services Facility until Friday, June 21. Residents planning on attending the Touch-A-Truck Event will still be able to access the Public Services Campus on Thursday, May 23, but detours will be in place.

Detours include:

• Jacoby Rd. to Colorado Blvd. and to Harmony Rd.
• Harmony Rd. to CO 257, then to CO 392 (Main St.)

Once the roadway is complete, residents will see that it’s been widened, with added bike lanes, and will be connected to the new Windsor Lake Rd. (WCR 70) extension between the new police facility and middle school. As always, all road work is weather permitting and subject to change. To receive traffic alert notifications, text Roads to 970-251-7151.

The North 15^th St. Campus construction is getting ready to start its next phase of construction as the new police station nears completion. Starting mid to late May, there will be a series of road closures along N. 15^th St. (WCR 15) so crews can begin widening the roadway, finish utility tie-ins and repave the road.

The roadway will close north of the Public Works Facility entrance to County Rd. 72 for one week. During this time, no through traffic will be permitted and all commuter and truck traffic will have to detour. Following the closure, a temporary roadway will be in place and open to the public with the speed limit reduced to 25 mph. It is currently estimated that the temporary road will be in place for about four weeks. Once the new roadway is paved, crews will continue to work on N. 15^th St. (WCR 15) improvements into September.

In anticipation of the new police facility and middle school being built on the north side of town, County Rd. 15 has undergone some speed limit changes. When traveling southbound on CR 15, the speed limit between CR 72 and the future middle school has been lowered to 45mph, then to 40mph from the future middle school to the railroad tracks. When traveling northbound, the speed limit between the railroad crossing and the future middle school has been lowered to 40mph, and has been lowered from 55 mph to 40 mph in between the future middle school and CR 15.
It’s evident that, with all the construction, the roadway has taken a little bit of a beating. This speed limit reduction doesn’t only make passing the work zone safer, but it will make the area safer for children and law enforcement once the new facilities are open and occupied.
