CDOT, Boulder County to begin resurfacing Isabelle Road at US 287 on April 19
News Release
BOULDER COUNTY — Starting April 19, the Colorado Department of Transportation, Boulder County and Contractor partner, Concrete Works of Colorado, will begin resurfacing Isabelle Road at the US 287 intersection.
Work on this project will improve safety and driving conditions at this intersection. Some of the safety improvements include, widening of Isabelle Road from 109th Street to 800 feet west of US 287, striping of new buffered bike lanes on Isabelle Road and across US 287, lengthening of turn lanes on Isabelle, new dual left-turn lanes for westbound traffic, new traffic signals on raised islands, new pedestrian crossings, new street lighting and the realignment of Isabelle Road and 109th Street intersection. There is not enough room in the work zone to complete all safety improvements without closing Isabelle Road.
“Addressing the safety concerns at US 287 and Isabelle Road is a priority for CDOT,” Regional Transportation Director Heather Paddock said. “We thank the surrounding communities for their patience as we complete this important work. The partnership between CDOT and Boulder County on this project will result in a safer intersection for the traveling public and local community.”

- No cars, bikes or pedestrians
- Closure will last for approximately five weeks
Travel Impacts Phase II
- Starts after Phase I has been completed and Isabelle Road is reopened between US 287 and N. 111th

During the road closures, crews will be working 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Traffic shifts on US 287 may also be necessary during working hours, so travel may be impacted on this road as well. Detours will be posted directing traffic to Arapahoe Road.
