Prospect Road Closed at I-25, June-August
Posted on: May-24-2016
Beginning June 1 through August, Prospect Road will be closed west of the I-25 Frontage Road to just east of Summitview Drive.Fort Collins Utilities began stormwater improvements under Prospect Road near Boxelder Creek in March and will continue through the summer. Also during this time, City Engineering will replace an existing bridge over Boxelder Creek. Both projects will be built during one road closure (Prospect Road) to minimize traffic impacts.
Utilities' major flood control project includes a new channel that will direct floodwater under Prospect Road to the Poudre River and six new 4x12-foot concrete box culverts. City Engineering will construct box culverts where the creek passes under the roadway, which will replace the existing bridge.
The new flood channel, located west of Boxelder Creek, will pass 100-year flood flows under Prospect Road, eliminating up to 2 feet of floodwater spilling over Prospect Road during large storms and addressing a serious public safety hazard during floods.
The remaining channel grading and other work located north and south of Prospect Road will be completed by the end of November.
