CO 97 Nucla Sidewalk Reconstruction

About the Project

The project consists of revitalizing the sidewalks on Main Street in Nucla. The sidewalk improvements will take place on:

• West side of CO Highway 97 (Main Street) from 3rd Avenue to 5th Avenue
• East side of CO 97 from 4th Avenue to 5th Avenue

Crews will begin work on the west side of CO 97 by deconstructing the original concrete then replacing the sidewalk concrete with ADA ramps and bump outs. Once work is complete from 3rd Avenue to 4th Avenue, crews will move to the east side of 4th Avenue to 5th Avenue

Construction is expected to be completed by July 2025, weather permitting.
