Construction of the Crystal Valley interchange will impact the Colorado Front Range Trail / East Plum Creek Trail

  1. When construction begins, an approximately 2.8-mile section of East Plum Creek trail will be closed for approximately 6 to 8 months, weather-dependent. During the closure, a temporary detour will be provided to maintain trail access. 

    The detour route will run north along Perry Street, east along Plum Creek Parkway, and south along Plum Creek Boulevard. Use of and access to the Colorado Front Range Trail / East Plum Creek trail will be fully restored after construction.  

    As part of the interchange project, a portion of the East Plum Creek Trail will be realigned to accommodate the realigned East Frontage Road and new roundabout east of Interstate 25. The trail will be moved to follow the new sidewalk along the relocated East Frontage Road north of the roundabout, then follow the sidewalk south to its existing connection to the sidewalk along Crystal Valley Parkway, where it will resume its existing route to the south. Douglas Lane will be realigned, thereby removing its existing at-grade crossing with the trail and improving trail user safety and experience. The width of the pavement of the realigned trail portion will be consistent with existing conditions (10-foot wide, paved concrete trail). 

    Share your comments on the interchange project’s impacts on the East Plum Creek Trail by emailing Public Works Project Manager Aaron Monks no later than Thursday, Nov. 30.
